Lock Items Behind Progression Stages

Setting Up Item Locks

Use the in-game editor to restrict access to specific items until players reach certain milestones.

Steps:

1. Open the progression editor with /pstages editor

2. Create or select a stage where you want the item to become available

3. In the stage settings, find the item lock section

4. Add items by their name or use item tags to lock entire categories at once

5. Save your changes

How Locks Work

Once locked, players cannot:

  • Hold the item in their inventory
  • Use or activate the item
  • Place it as a block
  • Repair it in an anvil

Locked items will be removed from player inventories if they log in before earning the required stage. You can lock individual items, all items from a specific mod, or use tags to group similar items together. The mod enforces these restrictions server-side, so players on multiplayer servers cannot bypass the locks by using commands or creative mode workarounds.
