Description

Steelhold is a survival-friendly security and storage mod for Forge, focused on secure containment, locked access, and progression-based protection.

Built for multiplayer servers and long-term worlds, Steelhold introduces lockable safes, reinforced storage tiers, and key-based access control designed to feel immersive, balanced, and fully integrated into vanilla-style gameplay.

Whether you’re protecting valuables on an SMP, building a secure vault, or creating a themed base with functional locked doors, Steelhold provides a clean and reliable solution without unnecessary complexity.

Features

Secure Safe Blocks

Steelhold adds multiple tiers of safes, each offering increased durability and stronger protection:

• Basic Safe
• Reinforced Safe
• Steelhold Safe
• Vault Safe
• Bank Safe

Safes are designed as true secure storage blocks rather than simple reskins of chests.

Key-Based Locking System

Access is controlled through crafted keys, allowing only authorized players to open protected blocks.

Perfect for:

• Multiplayer bases
• Roleplay servers
• Town security systems
• Private vault builds

Locked Doors

Steelhold also includes functional lockable doors that match the mod’s security progression, letting you secure entire rooms — not just containers.

Upgrade Kits and Progression

Upgrade kits allow you to advance storage tiers over time, supporting balanced survival progression instead of instant high-security blocks.

Vanilla-Compatible and Lightweight

Steelhold is designed to work smoothly alongside vanilla mechanics and common server modpacks, without requiring pipe networks, tech trees, or heavy automation systems.

Recommended Uses

• Protect valuables on SMP servers
• Build realistic vaults and banks
• Secure roleplay towns and factions
• Add immersive progression-based storage security

Steelhold is built to make storage protection feel grounded, reliable, and visually cohesive — the secure way to build in survival.

🔐 Steelhold – Secure Storage Reinvented

Steelhold is a Forge mod that adds heavy-duty, lockable safes to Minecraft — designed for multiplayer, survival, PvP, and roleplay servers where security actually matters.

These aren’t decorative chests. Steelhold safes are physical vaults with real ownership, real locks, and real consequences.

🗄️ Secure Storage, Not Just More Slots

Every Steelhold safe is:

• Player-owned
• Key-locked
• Explosion-resistant
• Tool-restricted
• Physics-enabled

Safes behave like anvils — if the block underneath breaks, they fall. When they land, they keep their inventory, owner, and lock, making them perfect for traps, vaults, and high-security bases.

🔑 Lock & Key System

When a safe is placed, it is automatically bound to its owner.

Only the owner can:

• Open the safe
• Generate keys
• Share access

Keys are physical items that are:

• Bound to a specific safe
• Tradable to other players
• Impossible to fake or duplicate

No key? No access.

Even operators must break a safe to get inside — there are no bypasses.

🧱 Multiple Tiers

Steelhold includes multiple tiers of safes, each with increasing storage, durability, and security:

• Basic Safe – Starter protection
• Reinforced Safe – Stronger and blast-resistant
• Steelhold Safe – High-security vault
• Vault Safe – Massive storage
• Bank Safe – Maximum security & capacity

All tiers use the same lock & key system — only their strength and size change.

💥 Explosions & Tools

Safes:

• Require the correct pickaxe tier to break
• Resist TNT and creepers based on tier
• Can be configured to be explosion-proof or destructible

Everything is configurable via Steelhold’s config file, including:

• Storage size
• Block hardness
• Blast resistance
• Required tool tier

Existing safes are never shrunk, preventing item loss.

🛠 Built for Servers

Steelhold is designed for:

• SMP servers
• PvP & raiding servers
• Town & nation servers
• Economy servers
• Roleplay worlds

No hopper theft.
