Strongarm Iron Doors

Open iron doors with your own fists. Lock doors using a custom key. Also add a variety of new doors, such as gold doors.

Strongarm Iron Doors Mod

A standalone Minecraft Fabric mod managed by the PCKR Engine that makes iron (and other metal/crystal) doors openable by hand and introduces a secure lock-and-key system.


Features

  • Hand-Opening Mechanics: Open heavy iron/metal doors using your bare hands. Heavy doors feel realistic and open with a slight configuration delay and creak.
  • Lock and Key System: Craft keys and bind them to specific doors. A locked door can only be toggled or opened by a player holding the matching key in their hand.
  • Custom Metal & Crystal Doors: Adds Gold, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, and Amethyst doors with matching textures, hardness levels, and properties.

In-Game Configuration Screen

Open the standard Minecraft Options menu and click the PCKR Engine button next to "Done" to open the dashboard. Under the Strongarm Iron Doors section, click "Expand" to configure each setting:

Option ID Type Default Description
enabled Boolean true Master enable toggle for the mod.
enable_fist_opening Boolean true Enables opening heavy doors by hand with a realistic delay.
enable_custom_doors Boolean true Registers Gold, Emerald, Diamond, Netherite, and Amethyst doors.
enable_lock_and_key Boolean true Enables the lock-and-key crafting and interaction mechanics.

How to Craft and Use Keys

Crafting a Key

Combine the following items in a vertical column in a crafting table:

  • Top: Iron Ingot
  • Middle: Bone
  • Bottom: Stone

Locking and Unlocking

  • Hold a fresh key in your hand and interact with a door to bind it (creates a unique lock ID).
  • Once bound, other players cannot open the door without holding the matching key.
