SecurityCraft guide for All the Mods 10 0.32 to 7.2

SecurityCraft is all about defending and locking down your base. It adds plenty of blocks and items built around one idea: every block you place belongs to you, its owner. Only you can interact with it or break it, and many blocks only affect other players, so your own defenses leave you alone.^[1]

All the Mods 10 7.2 ships SecurityCraft 1.10.2.1, and the mod has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier.^[2]

What you get

• Reinforced blocks: unbreakable, slightly darker versions of many vanilla blocks, made with a universal block reinforcer. Modded blocks are not supported.^[1]
• Technical blocks such as the keycard reader, inventory scanner, security camera, sentry, trophy system, rift stabilizer and block change detector.^[1]
• Modules that add features to many blocks. The disguise module lets blocks look like any other block, and the allowlist module lets you name players the block should ignore.^[1]
• Passcode-protected blocks, including a chest and furnaces that work like their vanilla versions but only open for players who know the code.^[1]
• Explosives, including block mines that look like ordinary stone, dirt, sand or ores and explode when a non-owner breaks them.^[1]

Who it's for

If you play on a multiplayer server and want to keep other players out of your stuff, or you just like building sneaky traps and camera setups, this mod is for you. Scoreboard team ownership can be turned on in the config, so everyone on a team shares ownership of the team's blocks.^[1]

SecurityCraft is all about defending your base. Before you craft anything, know this: every block is owned by the player who placed it. Only the owner can interact with it, and only the owner can break it. Many blocks also ignore their owner, so their effects only hit other players.^[1]

First, reinforce your base

Your first job is making your walls tougher. SecurityCraft has reinforced versions of many vanilla blocks. They are unbreakable variants of the originals, they have a slightly darker tint, and vanilla pistons can't move them, but reinforced pistons can push them. You make them by reinforcing normal blocks with a universal block reinforcer. Higher reinforcer levels simply have more durability.^[1]

Next, find out who is messing with your base

Make a Block Change Detector. It detects block changes in a certain range around it and logs the position, player, time and block state of each change. It's a handy way to see what happened while you were away.^[1]

Then, hide your defenses

Many SecurityCraft blocks can be upgraded with modules. The Disguise Module is a great early one, because it lets SecurityCraft blocks look like any other block in the game. That makes for stealthy base defenses.^[1]

Reinforced glass and the Data Center

Reinforced Black Stained Glass has its own crafting recipe in the pack. It matters beyond security: the quest "The Data Center" quest lists it as one of the glass types you can use for the Data Center's walls and ceiling.^[3][4]

A note on ore mines

The pack has changed the recipes for the ore mines, including the coal, copper and diamond versions and the deepslate ore variants. So don't rely on what you remember from the base mod. Use the recipe shown here instead.^[4]

SecurityCraft is a defense mod, so most of its systems are about who owns a block and who is allowed to touch it. This section covers the ownership, reinforcement, module, passcode and mine mechanics that the sources explain.^[1]

Ownership

Every block in the mod belongs to one player, the owner, who is whoever placed it. Only the owner can interact with the block or break it. Many blocks also ignore their owner, so their effects only hit other players. You can turn that off per block in the screen that opens when you right-click it with a Universal Block Modifier.^[1]

The mod also has optional scoreboard team ownership, enabled in its config. With it on, everyone on a team owns every block placed by any player on that team. If you run Jade or The One Probe, their overlay shows who owns a block.^[1]

Reinforced blocks

Reinforced blocks are unbreakable versions of many vanilla blocks. You make them by reinforcing the vanilla block with a Universal Block Reinforcer. Higher reinforcer levels have more durability, and level 2 and up can also remove the reinforcement. Vanilla pistons can't move reinforced blocks, but reinforced pistons can push them. Not every vanilla block has a reinforced version, and modded blocks aren't supported.^[1]

Reinforced blocks look slightly darker than their vanilla versions. In this pack that tint is switched on with reinforced_block_tint. The shade comes from reinforced_block_tint_color, which this pack sets to 10,066,329. The valid range is 0 to 16,777,215 in 0xRRGGBB format, and grayscale values look best. A server can force the tint setting on clients, but it can't override the color.^[5]

The pack also sets sayThanksMessage to false, so you won't get the tips message when joining a world.^[5]

Modules

Many SecurityCraft blocks can be upgraded with modules. Modules can add things like redstone output or let a block act faster. The disguise module makes a block look like any other block. The allowlist module lets the owner list player names, and those players are ignored by the block and by any password protection or targeting it has.^[1]

This pack also has the Denylist Module, and its in-pack recipe is below.^[4]

Passcode-protected blocks

Passcode-protected blocks open only for players who know the numeric code the owner set. They include a chest and several furnaces that work like their vanilla versions. Most have no crafting recipe. You make them by right-clicking the vanilla block with a key panel.^[1]

The Codebreaker can bypass these blocks. Each attempt has a 33% chance of working, and the item has 3 uses. On success, the block opens or activates for you.^[1]

Mods like Jade and The One Probe could once show an owner their own passcode. The project page says that as of SecurityCraft v1.9.7 nobody can see it, not even with those mods.^[1]

Mines

Block mines copy common blocks such as stone, dirt, deepslate, sand and all the ores. They look identical to the real block but are explosive. If a player who isn't the owner breaks one, it explodes and leaves a fiery crater.^[1]

You craft a block mine by combining the Mine with the block it should imitate. Here is the Cobblestone Mine as an example.^[4]

SecurityCraft is not on the ATM Star quest path, and the quest data I have shows only one quest that touches it: "The Data Center" quest in the Hostile Neural Networks chapter, which comes after Creating Loot. So your progression with this mod is mostly about which recipes lead into which, and the pack's recipe list is what we follow here.^[3][4]

The only quest link: reinforced black glass

The Data Center quest has you build a multiblock whose walls and ceiling must be black stained glass. One of the glass options accepted by the quest task is Reinforced Black Stained Glass, so SecurityCraft can supply part of a Hostile Neural Networks build.^[3]

Building up the defences

The recipes chain together in a natural order. Start with the Bouncing Betty, which leads on to the Claymore and the Intelligent Munitions System. The Laser Block leads on to the Inventory Scanner, and the Reinforced Block of Iron leads on to the Cage Trap, the IMS and the Block Pocket Manager. The recipe blocks below show the exact recipes.^[4]

Ore mines were changed by the pack

Heads up if you've played SecurityCraft elsewhere. The ore mine recipes are marked as changed by the pack: coal, copper, iron, gold, diamond and emerald, plus the deepslate versions of coal, copper, iron, gold, diamond, emerald, lapis and redstone. They all build on the basic Mine, and the Diamond Ore Mine recipe below is one example. Simpler mines like Cobblestone Mine, Dirt Mine and End Stone Mine use unchanged mod recipes.^[4]

A late-game goal

If you want something to aim for, look at the Codebreaker. Its recipe calls for a nether star from the common tag, plus diamond, emerald and gold, so it makes a good late-game target.^[4]

SecurityCraft mostly stands on its own, but it does talk to info-overlay mods. If you have a mod like Jade or The One Probe installed, its overlay shows you who owns a SecurityCraft block. That's really handy, because every block in the mod belongs to the player who placed it, and only that owner can interact with it or break it.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't confirm whether Jade or The One Probe is included in this pack, so check your mod list before relying on the ownership overlay.

Reinforced blocks and modded blocks

Don't expect to reinforce blocks from other mods. SecurityCraft's reinforced blocks are unbreakable versions of many vanilla blocks, and the developers say modded blocks are not and will not be supported by them. Plan your defenses around the vanilla-style reinforced blocks instead.^[1]

There is one door left open. SecurityCraft has an easy-to-use API for adding new reinforced blocks, and the team offers to help other mods that want to add reinforced versions of their own blocks or of other mods' blocks. So reinforced modded blocks can only show up if another mod adds them through that API.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't show whether any mod in this pack uses the SecurityCraft reinforced-block API, and they don't show any cross-mod recipes or quests involving SecurityCraft in this pack.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

SecurityCraft's client config is short, and the options in it are all about how things look and what you see when you join a world. Here is exactly how this pack sets them.^[5]

Reinforced block tint

Reinforced blocks normally look a little darker than their vanilla versions, so you can tell them apart at a glance. In this pack, reinforced_block_tint is set to true, so that darker tint is on.^[1][5]

If you play on a server, keep in mind that the server can force this setting on your client with its own "force_reinforced_block_tint" option.^[5]

The shade is controlled by reinforced_block_tint_color, which this pack sets to 10,066,329. The valid range is 0 to 16,777,215, and the value is a color in 0xRRGGBB format. It only applies while the tint is enabled. Servers cannot override it, and it is applied the same to every block. Grayscale values look best.^[5]

Welcome message

sayThanksMessage controls whether you get a welcome message with tips when you join the world. This pack sets it to false, so you won't see that message.^[5]

Unverified The sources don't show the mod's default values, so it is unconfirmed which of these settings the pack changed. SecurityCraft also has an optional scoreboard team ownership setting in its config, and this pack's value for it is not confirmed.

SecurityCraft has been part of All the Mods 10 since pack version 2.2 or earlier. In pack version 7.2 it ships as SecurityCraft 1.10.2.1, built for Minecraft 1.21.1.^[2]

The pack changelogs record three SecurityCraft updates over the pack's life, listed below from oldest to newest.^[6][7][8]

• All the Mods 10 2.47 updated SecurityCraft from 1.9.12 to 1.10.^[8]
• All the Mods 10 4.15 updated SecurityCraft from 1.10 to 1.10.1.^[7]
• All the Mods 10 7.2 updated SecurityCraft from 1.10.1 to 1.10.2.1. This is the version you're playing in this release.^[2][6]

Unverified The specific features, fixes or balance changes in each of these SecurityCraft updates can't be confirmed here, because the mod's own changelogs for these versions aren't available. If a block or mechanic behaves differently from an older video or guide, check SecurityCraft's official changelog for the version you're on.
