Build an Automatic Door with Sight Sensors

Creating a Look-Activated Entrance

Sight Sensors trigger whenever a player looks at them, making them perfect for hands-free door systems without needing pressure plates or buttons.

Basic Door Setup

1. Place a Sight Sensor in front of where you want your door to be—embed it in a wall or frame so it's visible

2. Connect redstone from the Sight Sensor to a piston or piston door mechanism

3. Add a repeater or delay if you want the door to stay open for a moment before closing

4. Test by looking at the sensor—the door should activate

Improving Your Design

• Use a Timer gate to control how long the door stays open after being looked at
• Combine multiple Sight Sensors around your entrance for redundancy
• Place the sensor behind glass or in a decorative block to make it less obvious
• For two-way doors, use a Two Way Repeater to handle signals from sensors on both sides

Sight Sensors work best in bases where you want a futuristic or automated feel without visible activation mechanisms.
