Would you like a way to store stuff safely and securely, with no way to have it stolen? Or to have a lock on the door to discourage griefers? Or, barring that, to have a way to be alerted if a door is opened? Well, now you can (if this idea gets into minecraft)!
Introducing the lock! A new type of item. It would be crafted with wood or iron, in a pattern like this:
or the same with wooden planks. A lock could be placed on a door, chest, trapdoor, or any block to be opened in the future!. A wooden lock would not open unless the user has a key of any kind, and would make a door's break time 30 seconds. An iron lock, however, could only be opened with a corresponding iron key, and would take 45 seconds to break!
And now for the lock's counterpart, the key! The key would open a lock, and be crafted like this:
or, as you guessed, with wooden planks. Now, for the thing that sets these apart! An iron lock
would open to 1 blank space when right clicked on after it is placed. The user inserts 1 item into the lock, and now the iron lock can only be opened by a key with the matching item.
An additional security measure would be the alarm. The alarm would be crafted using a note block, redstone dust, and 7 planks in a shape like this:
An alarm would send a noise that can be heard 32 blocks away, and would take 5 seconds to break. However, if it is hit, it will be activated.
Locks and alarms would be placed on whatever they are protecting, and would be like torches. Let me know what you think!
Hello there, and welcome to the forums!
It would be appreciated if before posting, you reviewed the stickied threads, and the forum rules.

And thank you for considering this. Hopefully next post will follow all these rules!
And I'm suggesting that it be added into minecraft, albeit under some changes. Also, what rule am I breaking? I searched for lock, locks, key, keys... Nothing.
