Locks Reforged

1.4.8

Security

• Lock pin combinations are no longer sent to clients over the network. The server now only transmits the pin count; pin validation remains fully server-authoritative. Previously, the full combo was readable from packets, trivially bypassing the lock picking minigame.
• Network version predicates now enforce strict version matching. Clients and servers with mismatched mod versions are cleanly rejected instead of silently connecting with incompatible packet formats.
• Server-to-client pin attempt packets are now range-validated, rejecting out-of-bounds pin indices.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed locks failing to render on multiplayer clients when the server's Max Lockable Volume config exceeded the default value. Client-side packet handling no longer re-runs volume/intersection validation that only the server should perform.
• Fixed potential client crash (NullPointerException) when lock packets arrive during dimension transitions or disconnect, before the client level is initialized.
• Fixed potential server crash (NullPointerException) when removing a lockable whose bounding box spans a chunk that has already been unloaded. Unloaded chunks are now skipped gracefully.
• Fixed lock-close sound playing to nearby players even when lock placement fails server-side validation (e.g. overlapping an existing lock). Sound now plays only after successful placement.
• Fixed the key crafting recipe consuming all key blanks in the grid but producing only one key. The recipe now accepts exactly one blank per craft.
• Fixed worldgen lock placement only registering in the first chunk when a double chest spans a chunk boundary. All intersecting proto-chunks now receive the lockable.
• Fixed potential ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when loading lockables with corrupted or out-of-range transform data from NBT. Invalid indices now fall back to the default transform.
• Fixed lock picking GUI springs not animating when pins move (regression from 1.4.2 rendering migration).

Textures

• Changed the Netherite Lock Pick texture.
• Fixed the unlocked Netherite Lock texture.
• Darkened the Netherite lock mechanism texture.

Cleanup

• Removed dead code: unused LocksCapabilities.registerCaps(), LocksConfig.canGen(), WrittenBookItem import, and commented-out code blocks across Lock, Cuboid6i, LockPickingContainer, and LocksClientUtil.

Guaranteed Lock Generation

• All generated chests with loot tables now receive a lock. Chests that previously fell below the lowest loot value threshold (or failed the 85% generation chance roll) now get a wooden lock instead of no lock at all.
• The Generation Chance config setting is no longer used — all generated chests are locked unconditionally. The setting is kept in the config file for backwards compatibility.
