This is a list of frequently asked questions and suggessions I've gotten throughout my time working on ItemLocks. I've decided to make this FAQ in order to address some of it.
A: This is a common request I get. Some notable mods are Storage Drawers, Mouse Tweaks, Inventory Sorter, etc. This is something I am actively looking into achieving. But it's not as simple as just adding a check for the desired mod and fixing the issues, as this would lead to messy code that is hard to work with. Instead for either ItemLocks 1.4 or 1.5 I'm planning to add some sort of API where other mods can add hooks to interact with my mod. This way other mods that reorder items in your inventory can also reorder the locks in my mod.
There is a lot that goes into this though and it has to be done right, thus I'm currently working on mostly minor additions and fixes until I feel the mod is ready for it.
A: Generally no, there's no active work on supporting/updating older versions (unless the version still gets a lot of downloads). There is one exception to this, 1.7.10. 1.7.10 is a major versions in terms of modding, and I don't see any reason not to support it considering the amount of times it's been requested. I'm only working on it whenever I get time over however, so don't expect it any time soon.
A: Maybe at some point. It's currently not on the TODO list, but I would like it for myself.
A: First off, please make sure the version isn't actually out. I've had a few instances where people ask for an update but the update has been out for weeks already.
If not, there should be an update arriving within a week of Forge/Fabric updating to the version. Otherwise, feel free to remind me.
A: That's weird, every time someone ask this, I load up every up to date version, and it works.
Try some of these:
- Disable other mods, check if there's compatibility issues
- Check conflicting keybinds, make sure the mod has its own unique keybind
- Are you playing an up to date/recent version? Older versions of ItemLocks may not work as well as recent versions
- Are you using Fabric? Make sure you also got the Fabric-API mod, which is required alongside Fabric itself
- When locking a lot, you need to hold down the Lock keybind, as well as left clicking on the slot you want to lock. It's not enough to simply press the lock key, that won't do anything.
Still stuck? Report it as a bug.
A: Yes
A: This is both a bug and not a bug. For the bug part, see the first question. On the other part, this mod is purely a client side mod. It does not prevent server from manipulating your inventory.
A: No, this is borderline cheats/hacks. The original idea of this mod is to prevent accidental loss of items, server manipulating your inventory is not accidental.
A: Feel free to submit a bug report.
A: I should add a GitHub Issue reporting page, but I have no time to set one up properly. For now, you can either comment on the CurseForge page or the Modrinth page. I try to reply to every comment whenever I have time.
Make sure to give me your logs as a Pastebin link.
