Smooth, client-side animations for vanilla doors. Multiplayer-safe, resource-pack friendly, Sodium and Iris compatible by design.
What it does
- Adds a fluid open and close animation to vanilla doors and trapdoors - Triggers from any source: player, redstone, mobs, or network events - Client-only mod, no server install required - Respects all resource packs and existing models
> ⚠️ Shader notice > Depending on the shader pack used, you may notice lighting flickering when opening or closing doors. > This is a shader-side limitation and not an issue with the mod itself.
> ℹ️ Texture pop notice > You may notice a brief texture inconsistency at the end of the animation. This is caused by vanilla Minecraft's textures not being fully consistent, and is not a bug with this mod. > You can fix this by using a resource pack such as Creaky Doors or Simply Fixed Doors.
Configuration
Settings can be changed in-game via ModMenu + Cloth Config, or by editing the config file manually:
`config/fancy-door-anim.json`
```json { "enabled": true, "doorEnabled": true, "trapdoorEnabled": true, "fenceGateEnabled": true, "durationMs": 240, "revealLeadMs": 25, "debugLogs": false } ```
- `durationMs` — animation duration in milliseconds (60–5000) - `revealLeadMs` — how early before the end the vanilla model reappears - `fenceGateEnabled` — fence gate animation is work in progress, enabling it has no visual effect yet
Manual JSON edits are picked up on the next world/server join. ModMenu changes apply immediately on save.
Roadmap
- Open double doors at once - Open source - More animation presets - More animated blocks
