Locked chests, doors, and stuff

[Floris]

Welcome to our 'Item Protection' Feature Guide!

In our server, certain items automatically lock to your name when you place them, ensuring your belongings are secure. However, unlocking an item doesn't mean others have free reign to disrupt it.

Here are the basics:

Automatically Locked Items:
Doors, hoppers, furnaces, trapdoors, lecterns, beacons, and chests are examples of items that will lock to your name upon placement.

Interacting with Locked Items:
Once an item is locked, others cannot interact with it, providing peace of mind for your creations.

Managing Locks:

• To set a lock, use: /lock and left-click the item.
• To remove a lock, use: /unlock and left-click the item.

Granting Access:
- To give someone else permission to your locked item: /cmodify theirname
- Example: /cmodify mrfloris, then left-click the item to grant access.

Revoking Access:
- To remove someone's access: /cmodify -theirname
- Example: /cmodify -mrfloris, then left-click the item to revoke access.

Checking Lock Status:
- To check if an item is locked: /cinfo and left-click the item.

Additional Tips:

• Double doors that open when right-clicked, can be created by placing two doors next to each other. To avoid this, /unlock one or both doors after setup.
• If an item can't be locked with /lock, like placed diamond ore, use a sign on it; signs automatically lock and secure the item they're connected to.
• You can make a donation chest by unlocking it and then /cdonate, which will allow players to add to the chest, but not take from it.

Reporting Incidents:
If you encounter griefing or theft, please report it to a team member. We enforce server rules against these actions, usually resulting in permanent bans. Play fair and have fun!



Granting Access to Trusted Friends:

1. Access in Wilderness Worlds:
When placing items like shulker boxes, doors, or chests in general worlds, these items automatically lock to your name. Others attempting to interact receive a "This is locked..." message. To grant access:

- Use: /cmodify playername to give specific access to these items to the intended player(s).

2. Protected Regions and Additional Access:
In protected regions, access permissions might further restrict opening chests for non-trusted members. To check if you're in your region, type: /here. It will display _[I]global_[/I] otherwise.

- In your region, click [add] next to the member list, input the player's name, and press enter. Then recheck with /here to confirm their inclusion.

- Once added, they should access the designated items (doors, chests, furnaces) within this region.

Granting Access to Multiple Items:
- For granting quick access to select multiple locked items (e.g., 10 chests):
1. Type /cpersist once.
2. Use /cmodify playername once.
3. Interact with all the chests you want to grant access to.
4. Finally, type /cpersist again to disable persistent mode.

An Alternative: /trust Command:
- Use with caution: /trust add playername will automatically grant access to all your locked items to the specified player.
- Easier but riskier, as it removes the privacy of your chests. Use this command judiciously.

Lectern Protection:

- Lecterns are automatically protected upon placement, preventing others from breaking or taking them.

Usage Scenarios:

1. Locked Lectern - No Book:
- Others can't break it, nor can they place a book inside.
- /unlock and hit the lectern to make it publicly available.

2. Locked Lectern - With Book:
- Others can't break it or interact with the book inside.
- To allow specific friends to access and read the book, use: /cmodify friendName.

3. Unlocked Lectern - No Book:
- Others can break it and take the lectern or any book placed in it.
- It's advisable to keep an unlocked lectern without a book locked.

4. Unlocked Lectern - With Book:
- Others can read, take, or replace the book placed inside.
- To maintain privacy but allow a friend to access, use: /cmodify friendName.

Display Lectern Settings:
- Unlock the lectern, then type: /cdisplay and hit the lectern.
- If you want others to contribute books, but not take them: Unlock the lectern, then type: /cdonate and hit the lectern.
- In this mode, others can see (and/or donate) books and read them, but can't take them out unless on the access list.

Using Lecterns Creatively:
- Ideal for sharing books, implementing mini-games, or creating welcome books for build areas.
- Note: Lectern behavior may differ when protected by a non-global /here region; test accordingly.

Known problems
A problem might be that your region protect doesn't have use/interact/chest-access allowed, which could mean others who aren't on the region access list cannot interact with items anyway, request mrfloris to change the region flags so visitors can interact with buttons, doors, etc, accordingly (these item protections still override that region flag, but if they have access and they cannot interact, it might be a missing flag setting).

Questions? Ask away!

 

[Floris]

This is about item protection, not region protection, which is a different topic. But to answer that question quickly:
A region is more protecting the whole base from anybody, and is separate from item-protection. You can request region protection by giving mrfloris a poke (if you don't have discord) or by opening a ticket on discord.
