Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Locks and Keys

I've seen this idea be suggested before, and as a map-maker, I feel the need to add my support. My idea would be for a set of three locks with corresponding keys - maybe gold, iron and copper? These could be applied to doors, trap doors, chests, etc. to lock them! This would open up a lot of opportunities for dungeon designing and the like! And now that we have a third overworld metal, this idea is more viable than ever! Heck, you could even include lockpicks if you want, for even more D&D goodness haha

    These should be makeable with netherite and echo (that is to say, echo shards).

    I also think lock picks are a good idea, but only offer a 90% chance to pick the lock.

    To prevent players from cheating locks, the locked things should be unmineable, or at least extremely hard.

    I feel like the lock and key should be a specific block but you can use a key. But you have to use an anvil to make a specific name on said key and the lock block, so key's with the same name as the block can unlock the block. and when that happens you can attach it to red stone if you wanted for dramatic entrances or just to better hide your stuff.
