Do I get better rewards for completing locks perfectly?

Yes—performing well during the mini-game increases your loot significantly, with perfect scores potentially dropping almost double the items compared to a barely-successful attempt.

Does Clavis Mod affect all chests or just dungeon chests?

The mod primarily affects loot chests found in structures and dungeons that have the floating lock symbol; regular chests you place yourself are not affected.

Will this mod slow down my early-game progression?

Yes—since you must successfully complete mini-games to access high-tier loot instead of simply collecting it, progression is intentionally slower and more skill-based in the early game.

Can I skip or disable the lockpicking mini-game?

The mod is designed around the lockpicking mechanic as a core feature; check your mod configuration files if you want to adjust difficulty settings, but the mini-game cannot be completely bypassed.

Does Clavis Mod work with other mods that add custom chests?

Compatibility depends on how the other mod implements chests; most standard chest-based mods should work, but custom chest types from some mods may not trigger the lockpicking system.

Will Clavis Mod cause lag or performance issues?

The mod is lightweight and should not cause noticeable performance problems, as the mini-game runs client-side and doesn't add many new blocks or entities to your world.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start playing with Clavis Mod?

Simply install the mod and play normally—when you encounter a chest in a dungeon or structure, you'll see a floating lock symbol above it instead of being able to open it instantly. Interact with the chest to begin the lockpicking mini-game and earn your loot.

What do the different lock colors mean?

Lock colors indicate difficulty levels: easier locks are typically green or blue, while harder locks appear orange or red. Harder locks require faster reactions and impose additional rules, but reward you with significantly more items if you succeed.

Can I see how hard a lock is before I try to open it?

Yes—the floating lock symbol above the chest shows its difficulty level by color before you interact with it, so you can decide whether to attempt it or come back with better reflexes later.

What happens if I fail the lockpicking mini-game?

If you fail, the chest remains locked and you can try again immediately without penalty, though you won't receive any loot until you complete the mini-game successfully.
