Enabling Villager Double Door Access and Reloading Settings

Allowing Villagers to Open Paired Doors

By default in vanilla Minecraft, villagers can only open one door at a time when entering or exiting houses, which often leaves wide double-door entrances half-open or causes pathfinding bottlenecks. You can configure the plugin to let villagers trigger both doors simultaneously:

1. Open your server's plugin configuration file.

2. Find the setting labeled enableVillagerLinkedDoors.

3. Set the value to true.

4. Save your configuration file.

With this setting active, whenever a villager walks through a mirrored double door and pushes one door open, the paired door swings open along with it instantly.

Applying Configuration Changes In-Game

After modifying settings such as enableVillagerLinkedDoors, enableFenceGates, or recursive opening values, you do not need to restart the entire server to apply them:

1. Log into the server with administrative permissions.

2. Open your chat box or server console.

3. Enter the command /doubledoors reload and press Enter.

The plugin will immediately reload its configuration settings and apply the updated rules to all doors, gates, and trapdoors across the world.
