Locking chests & doors

Claims protect land. Locks protect a single block, so you can lock a chest in a shared base or a door in a town.

A double chest locked with a [Private] sign, a [More Users] sign for friends, and a locked door.Drag to turn · scroll to zoom · double-click to reset

Locking a chest

1. Hold a sign.
2. Right-click the chest.

The sign goes on the chest with [Private] and your name. Only you can open it now. A double chest needs just one sign.

Sharing it

Place a second sign on the same chest and write:

[More Users]
FriendOne
FriendTwo
FriendThree

Each [More Users] sign adds up to 3 names. You can add more than one.

To make it open to everyone (a donation chest, say), write Everyone on one of the lines.

Locking doors

Doors work the same way. Put the sign on the door or the block next to it. Add [Timer:3] to a line to make the door close itself after 3 seconds. Any number from 1 to 9 works.

Trapdoors and fence gates can be locked too. The block under a fence gate (or behind a trapdoor) is protected with it.

Editing a sign

Right-click your sign to select it, then type /blocklocker <line> <name>. For example, /blocklocker 2 Steve puts Steve on line 2. You can't change the owner on line 1.

Unlocking

Break the [Private] sign. Only the owner can.
