Double Doors for Minecraft

Review Double Doors

Double Doors in Minecraft

Minecraft’s vanilla mechanics have many drawbacks, but the Mojang developers fix mostly bugs and tend to update little of those mechanics that were previously added to the game world. If you often build houses and install doors, you have noticed that you can’t use double ones. Even if you install two structures at once, only one will open. But if the player for some reason wants both of them to open and close, you’ll have to invent some versatile Redstone-based schemes so that both can open. It isn’t very convenient, is it?

Third-party mods can help in this case. About most of them we talk in details on our reviews. And today, the Double Doors mod has come into our eyesight, which makes it possible to open double doors in Minecraft. From now on, the standard mechanics will change and you’ll be able to further unlock the potential of this game, add some unique locations and mechanisms, construct colorful buildings, and automated circuits. At the same time, the mod itself is pretty simple and adds no new content as all!

By installing Double Doors, you’ll be able to simultaneously open two doors in Minecraft. All you need is to install them side by side, and the system will automatically «activate» the new mechanic from this add-on. It works with almost all the constructions available in the vanilla version: birch, oak, and iron doors and so on. Now you won’t have to install Redstone and create complex schemes to activate two structures at once, as you used to do in the vanilla version of Minecraft. Indeed, such systems also require a lot of space, so the player needed to hide them by digging large holes.

But you should also keep in mind that the Double Doors mod will open mostly double doors made of the same material. For example, if you put an iron door and a birch door, they will open separately. About the same thing happens if you install a birch and an oak. So that the system works correctly, it’s important to use one the same constructions in Minecraft. You just need to click on one of the doors, and the second opens automatically. These universal mechanics allow you to create full-fledged circuits, various structures, locks, hidden locations, and much more.

You just can’t imagine how many opportunities the Double Doors opens for you when added to the general build. Moreover, it can search for all other doors from third-party mods, and if it finds such structures in the general item list, the double opening mechanics will also apply to them. It’s convenient, fast, and efficient for any game world. That’s just this system can break the mechanics in some traps and farms, and you should keep that in mind when installing the Double Doors mod in the collection!

If the player presses the «Squat» button and clicks on the door, only one clicked option will open. This allows you to sometimes use the old Minecraft mechanics. In general, there is a configuration file, which adds many different parameters that you can configure after installing Double Doors. For example, there are such parameters as:

· Recursive opening – you can enable this option to open all the doors that are «attached» to each other. For example, you have installed 10 doors or 10 hatches. By clicking on any of them, you’ll open or close all of them;

· Recursive function search – these parameters are for the maximum number of blocks for searching doors and corresponding structures that can be used with new mechanics from Double Doors;

· Support of other mods – there is a separate parameter that allows you to search for doors from third-party add-ons installed in the general Minecraft build. If you don’t want Double Doors to be applied to these constructions, just disable this option in the settings.

The mechanic is simple and very effective both for vanilla and modified Minecraft. You get a substantial functionality that allows you to reconsider the standard approach to building farms, various mechanisms, and simple door opening in Minecraft. As for now, Double Doors has been downloaded more than 14 million times, and this number keeps growing. If you want to add a useful mod to your build, be sure to download this add-on and use all its functions. It’s constantly updated by the developer and quickly adapts to new Minecraft versions. All available libraries (Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt) are used as a loader.
