Private Keys System
BiomeLock uses a progression system based on private keys to control biome access and apply restrictions to players. Each progression step is represented by a private key associated with a specific biome or boss. These keys are stored individually per player and do not rely on global world keys, ensuring precise and independent progression control.
How it works
-
When a biome boss is defeated, the corresponding private key is automatically granted to all players who participated in the boss defeat.
-
When entering a biome, the system checks whether the player has the required private key.
-
If the required key is missing, the SE_BiomeLock status effect is applied, activating all configured restrictions.
-
Once the player obtains the correct private key, the negative effect is removed and normal access to the biome is restored.
