📋 About This Mod
## About LWC is the longest-lived single block protection plugin, that protects both the blocks themselves and their contents. Originally designed in 2010 for locking chests (hence the name "Lightweight Chests"), it can be configured to lock any block. LWC Extended (or LWCX) is a fork of LWC which aims to provide extended updates and support for the plugin. ## Help & Support First time using LWC? Fortunately, the plugin is easy to use. Simply download, drop it into your plugins folder, and restart your server -- blocks such as chests should now lock automatically when placed! Information on how to use and configure LWCX is available (https://github.com/pop4959/LWCX/wiki). For additional support (https://discord.gg/PHpuzZS)! ### Author's Note Permission was granted by Hidendra (the original author of LWC) to release forks of the plugin. Unfortunately, the original version of the plugin is no longer available (however, there are few major changes between this version and the original). ### Bolt Also check out my new plugin (https://modrinth.com/plugin/bolt), which is a modern LWC alternative that boasts numerous improvements over LWC (see (https://github.com/pop4959/Bolt/wiki#why-bolt)). Keep in mind that LWC continues to be fully supported and will receive the usual updates as always. For more information, visit the plugin page or ask on our (https://discord.gg/PHpuzZS) in the LWC / Bolt channels. Thank you for your support!
