BiomeLock

BiomeLock

BiomeLock restricts biome progression by blocking player actions until the required boss is defeated.

Private Keys System

BiomeLock uses a fully individualized progression system based on private keys.

Each global world key (such as defeating a boss) automatically generates a corresponding private key for the player.

These private keys are assigned individually, meaning each player has their own progression, independent of other players on the server.

All biome access checks, limits, and restrictions are performed exclusively based on these private keys.

When a biome boss is defeated, the corresponding private key is automatically granted to all players who participated in the boss defeat.

With this system, BiomeLock ensures:

• 100% individual progression per player
• Precise control over access and restrictions
• No direct dependency on the global world state
• Full compatibility with multiplayer servers and customized progression

Prevents building, repairing, removing structures, and modifying terrain using the hammer, hoe, or cultivator.

• Dungeon Blocking

• Pickup Restrictions

• Boss Progression Restrictions

Blocks boss summoning until the previous boss has been defeated

Boss Summon Day Restriction

Each boss has its own individual and independent configuration, allowing you to define on which in-game day its summon will be unlocked.
