How to Set Up and Open Paired Doors

Setting Up Paired Doors

To create double doors, place two matching wooden doors side by side in a doorway frame. Right-clicking either wooden door will cause both doors to open or close at the same time. Villagers are also able to open both doors simultaneously when passing through.

For iron doors, you cannot open them directly by hand. Instead, place a single activation block, such as a stone button, wooden button, or pressure plate, adjacent to or in front of the paired doors. Activating that single redstone source will trigger both iron doors together without requiring complex redstone wiring behind the walls.

Opening a Single Side

If you need to adjust or open only one door in the pair, bypass the mod's automatic group behavior:

1. Hold down your crouch (sneak) key.

2. Right-click the specific door block you want to operate.

Crouching disables the simultaneous opening feature for that interaction, allowing you to open or close a single side while leaving the other side unchanged.
