Copper Keys and Locked Chests

Having Keys and Locked chests would easily solve a stealing/griefing problem on public servers. Craft a key with 2 copper ingots, and a locked chest with a chest, 2 chains, and an iron nugget. Keys can also open iron doors.

There is a catch though- although each key can only open the first container it is used on, the name will stay the same. Be sure to name your keys to avoid getting it mixed up with others'!

    I have an idea what about you make copper slabs be able to cook on it with an item frame because it is a good conductor of heat and put any fire source under the slab or the copper block

    Wouldn't another player just be able to make a new key for your chest? Seems like each chest should have only one key as well.

    Or maybe it should be able to store which keys you can make under your player data, just like inventory, although this would limit servers to 2^32 locked chests, or prevent friends from making new keys for shared resources.

    this would be a great idea, also what if they add chest theifs that could steal from your chests, you could make a key to lock your chest

    This is a wonderful idea! Maybe the locked chest crafting recipe could use copper instead. After all, more uses for copper. There could be locked doors too, that would be pretty useful when map-making.
