Large doors are a type of door that can be made up of multiple blocks.
There are 3 main types of doors:
- Rotating Door (Called Door) - A door that rotates on a vertical axis.
- Portcullis - A door that moves up/down.
- Sliding Door - A door that moves left/right.
There is also a fourth type of “door”, Drawbridges. They have most of the same features as doors, but they rotate upwards instead of sideways.
There are a few limitations for doors.
- Doors cannot be any bigger than 150 blocks.
- You cannot have more than 10 doors (this may change in the future).
Creating doors is quite simple, you can just follow these easy steps:
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select the door type you want to make, either (Rotation) Door, Portcullis, or Sliding Door.
- Name the door with
/namedoor NAME.
- Click one of the corners of the door with the stick you were given.
- Click the opposite corner of the door with the same stick.
- (If a Rotating Door) Click the column of blocks you want the door to rotate around.
This column of blocks will NOT move, so you could extend the door an extra block to one side and have the wall as a hinge.
Creating a drawbridge is very similar to creating a rotating door.
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select “New Drawbridge”.
- Name the bridge with
/namedoor NAME.
- Click one corner with the stick you were given.
- Click the opposite corner with the same stick.
- Click the end of the bridge you want to be the hinge, avoiding a corner if you can.
- If you cannot avoid a corner (such as with a 2 wide bridge), select the other corner on the side you want to be the hinge.
Otherwise, you're already done!
¶ Opening and Closing your doors/drawbridges.
There are two main ways of opening and closing your doors/drawbriges.
To do this, open the doors menu with /doors, select the door you want to open/close, and click the lever icon.
Power blocks are gold blocks that can be link to doors so that when they are directly powered (aka powered via button or repeater), the door will open/close.
To setup a power blocks you need to:
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select the door you want to setup the power block for.
- Click the leather boots icon.
- Click a gold block with the stick you're given.
You've now got a power block setup! When this block is powered, the door will toggle.
You can also set your doors/bridges to automatically close after a certain period of time. To change how long this takes, you can select the clock in the door menu, then provide how long in seconds the door will stay open. (You can set this to 0 to disable).
You can also lock doors from the door menu to prevent them from being opened.
To lock your door/bridge, you can:
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select the door you want to lock/unlock.
- Click on the stained glass pane to toggle the lock. When the pane is red the door is unlocked.
Owners are able to access doors through their doors menu to do things such as opening/closing, locking, and editing doors.
There are two permission levels for owners, 1 (default, lets the other player edit the door), and 2 (lets the other player use the door)
To add/remove an owner you can:
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select the door you want to edit.
- Click on one of the heads, player for adding, skeleton for removing.
- Then run one of the following commands, depending on if you want to add or remove and owner.
ADD: /BigDoors addowner <Name> <Permission (1 or 2)>
REMOVE: /BigDoors removeowner <Name>
Last but not least, you can have the plugin notify you whenever a door/bridge is toggled!
To enable this simply:
- Open the doors menu with
/doors.
- Select the door you want to receive notifications for.
- Select the music disc to toggle notifications. When the disk is 11 notifications are disabled, and when it's stal notifications are enabled.
