Double Doors Server Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I set up my first double door?
Place two doors of the same type side-by-side facing the same direction, with hinges on opposite sides. Right-click either door and both will open together instantly.
Do I need to do anything special to enable double doors?
No, double doors work automatically once the plugin is installed. If they're not working, check that both doors are the exact same type and are positioned correctly next to each other.
Can I turn off double doors just for myself?
Yes, use the command `/doubledoors toggle` to switch between automatic double-door opening and single-door mode for your character only.
What blocks work with this plugin besides doors?
Fence gates and trapdoors work as paired blocks if the plugin is configured to enable them. They follow the same matching rules as doors—same type, same direction, positioned next to each other.
Why won't my double doors open together?
Check that both doors are the exact same type, face the same direction, have hinges on opposite sides, and are placed directly next to each other. If they still don't work, the plugin might be disabled in the server configuration.
Can I open more than two doors at once?
Yes, if recursive opening is enabled in the config, you can open chains of connected doors and gates in one click. The distance the chain reaction travels depends on the `recursiveOpeningMaxBlocksDistance` setting.
What happens if I don't have permission to open a door in a claimed area?
The plugin will block you from opening double doors in claimed areas where you don't have build permission, protecting claimed structures from unauthorized access.
Do villagers work with double doors?
Only if `enableVillagerLinkedDoors` is turned on in the server config. When enabled, villagers can walk through and open double doors automatically.
Will this mod cause lag if I have lots of double doors?
The plugin is designed to be lightweight, but enabling recursive opening with a large distance value could impact performance on servers with many connected door chains. Adjust `recursiveOpeningMaxBlocksDistance` if you experience issues.
How do I reload the plugin settings without restarting the server?
Use the command `/doubledoors reload` to update all plugin configuration settings while the server is running.
