Padlock & Auras

Protect your storage and give your character a unique look! Padlock & Auras combines PIN-protected containers with six cosmetic auras for Minecraft Java 1.20.1 on Forge.

Protect your belongings

Use a padlock on a supported container and choose a 1–4 digit PIN. Your password is sent privately to you in chat.

• Remembered access: other players enter the correct PIN once to unlock future access to that padlock.

• Owner keys: only the owner can remove a padlock with a key and recover it.

• Fresh permissions: removing and replacing a padlock clears previously authorized guests.

• Storage protection: locked containers resist breaking, explosions, piston movement and standard hopper or Forge inventory automation.

Supports vanilla single chests, double chests, trapped chests, barrels and shulker boxes. Locked chests receive a detailed black-and-orange metallic appearance with an animated lid. Removing the padlock restores their original appearance.

Six cosmetic auras

Choose from 67, Heart, Symphony, Matrix, Mystic Eye and Thunder.

Right-click an aura item to toggle its effect without consuming it. Combine multiple auras and use third-person view to see your character’s effects. Your equipped auras are remembered when you reconnect, change dimensions or respawn.

Items and crafting

Padlocks: craft five using five Phora Chips and four copper blocks:

C B C
B C B
C B C

C = Phora Chip · B = Copper Block

Reusable key: place a Phora Chip directly to the left of a copper ingot in the crafting grid.

Phora Chips and aura items have no crafting recipes. They are available in the mod’s creative tab or through /give commands, allowing map makers and server administrators to control their distribution.
