đŸšĒ Door Block

Door Block is a two-block-tall structure with lower and upper halves. Placing one block automatically creates both halves. The door can be opened by hand, redstone, or wind charge.

  • By hand: right-click toggles open/closed.
  • By redstone: opening is synced — both halves toggle together. The lower half handles the activation.
  • By wind charge: a wind charge hitting the lower half toggles it (only if not redstone-powered).

The hinge side is determined automatically on placement based on which adjacent blocks have full collision shapes, mimicking vanilla door hinge logic.

When one half is destroyed with the correct tool or in creative mode, the other half is removed too, so only one item drops.
