Fortifying Your Minecraft World with SecurityCraft: More Protectables
SecurityCraft has long been the go-to mod for players who want to add laser grids, retinal scanners, keypads, and reinforced blocks to their Minecraft bases. It transforms the game into a high-tech fortress simulator where every chest and door can be locked behind a passcode. However, one common frustration has always been that the mod’s protection mechanics only worked with its own blocks. What about that massive Iron Chest filled with diamonds, or the mystical portal from Twilight Forest? The More Protectables addon changes everything by bridging SecurityCraft with a wide range of other mods, making your entire base seamlessly secure.
What Exactly Is More Protectables?
More Protectables is a companion mod designed to extend SecurityCraft’s passcode protection system to blocks that were previously incompatible. Instead of juggling multiple security mods or leaving valuable storage exposed, you can now use SecurityCraft’s universal block reinforcer, keypad, or keycard reader to lock down containers and devices from other mods. The addon also gives a visual facelift to several existing SecurityCraft blocks, making your security setup look more cohesive and modern.
Seamless Cross-Mod Protection
The core feature is the ability to treat foreign blocks as if they were native SecurityCraft components. Once a block is registered as protectable, you can attach a keypad directly to it, set a passcode, and rest easy knowing that even a Wither storm won’t open your chest without the right code. This works on a per-block basis, so you can mix protected and unprotected blocks in the same room without any interference.
Supported Mods and Blocks
The addon ships with built-in compatibility for some of the most popular mods in the community. The list is constantly growing, but currently you can expect full protection for:
- Iron Chests – All tiers from Copper to Crystal can be locked with a SecurityCraft keypad, keeping your upgraded storage truly private.
- Applied Energistics 2 – Secure your ME drives, terminals, and crafting interfaces, preventing unauthorized access to your digital storage network.
- Tropicraft – Protect bamboo chests and other tropical containers, so your beachside paradise remains safe from looters.
- Twilight Forest – Lock up those towering Twilight Oak chests and mysterious uncrafting tables, adding a layer of security to your dimension-hopping adventures.
Suggestions for additional mod support are actively welcomed by the developer, meaning the roster of protectable blocks can expand based on community feedback.
Visual Reworks for a Cleaner Look
Beyond functionality, More Protectables overhauls the appearance of several SecurityCraft blocks. The reinforced doors, keypads, and inventory scanner now feature refined textures and smoother models. These visual tweaks help the security equipment blend better with modern resource packs and other tech mods. You will notice subtle but impactful changes like updated keypad screens, sleeker metallic frames, and improved lighting effects on retinal scanners. It is a small touch that makes your security hub feel more polished and immersive.
Installation and Compatibility
Getting started with More Protectables is straightforward. You will need the latest version of SecurityCraft and the corresponding version of the addon for your Minecraft release. Both mods run on Forge and are regularly updated to stay compatible with major Minecraft updates. Managing dependencies and updates can sometimes feel tedious, especially when you have dozens of mods installed. For players who want a hassle-free experience, this mod can be easily installed via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu. It automatically resolves dependencies and keeps everything in sync, so you can jump straight into building your protected fortress without fiddling with file folders.
Once installed, the integration is automatic. Any supported block from another mod will immediately be recognized by SecurityCraft’s universal block reinforcer and other protection tools. There are no complex configuration files to edit unless you want to fine-tune which blocks are protectable. The addon also plays nicely with other SecurityCraft extensions, so you can combine it with things like SecurityCraft’s camera system or alarm modules without conflicts.
Why This Matters for Your Minecraft Experience
On a single-player world, the threat might come from creepers or accidental misclicks, but on multiplayer servers, base security is everything. Without cross-mod protection, a clever thief could simply bypass your laser grid and open an Iron Chest because SecurityCraft did not recognize it as a valid container. More Protectables closes that loophole. It also reduces the need to hide valuables in obscure vanilla chests when you have access to superior storage options from other mods. You get to use the best tools from each mod while maintaining a unified security system.
For modpack creators, this addon is a godsend. It eliminates the balancing nightmare of having to disable certain storage mods or write custom scripts to make them lockable. By including More Protectables, you offer players a cohesive experience where every container, no matter its origin, can be secured under the same rules. This encourages exploration and base-building without sacrificing safety.
Conclusion
SecurityCraft: More Protectables is an essential layer of glue for any modded Minecraft setup that relies on SecurityCraft. It respects the original mod’s design while extending its reach to beloved storage and machine blocks from Iron Chests, Applied Energistics 2, Tropicraft, and Twilight Forest. The visual reworks are the cherry on top, making your security gear look as good as it functions. Whether you are a server admin tired of theft complaints or a solo builder who wants a perfectly integrated fortress, this addon delivers. Install it, set your passcodes, and finally achieve the peace of mind that every last block in your world is truly protected.
