Seal of the Padlock

This door is mine, and nothing gets through it but me.

Released Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge Client & server
A player seals a wooden door with a glowing padlock while a zombie, a creeper and TNT fail to break through at sunset.

Why it exists

A door, trapdoor or fence gate should actually stay closed to everyone but you — not just look locked, but stay off-limits to other players, mobs, pistons, explosions and redstone.

What it does

Craft a Seal of the Padlock and right-click it against a door, trapdoor or fence gate to seal it. The binding is server-side and permanent until you remove it yourself with Shift + right-click.

What “sealed” means

A non-owner can’t open it, break it, push it with a piston, power it open with redstone, or blow it up. It survives TNT and Creepers. A zombie can’t break it down, and a villager can’t wander through it.

Owner control

You keep full control at all times, and don’t need the Seal in hand except to remove the binding. The block holding the door up is protected too — otherwise removing it would pop the door off and bypass the seal.

Vanilla-style doors

Works with any vanilla-style door, trapdoor or fence gate, including modded ones that extend the vanilla block classes. It is not a claim system: it protects the access, not the whole house.

How it fits

The Pergamena del Lucchetto is found in dungeon chests. Server operators can be granted a dedicated permission to bypass any seal for legitimate recovery; it is off for regular players by default.
