Double Doors Mod (1.21.11) – Doors will Now Open and Close Together

Double Doors is a quality-of-life utility mod that allows multiple identical double doors, trapdoors, and fence gates to open simultaneously in Minecraft, available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt mod loaders.

Every Minecraft player has experienced the same small frustration: you walk up to a pair of double doors, click one side, and the other stays shut. It breaks immersion and slows you down, especially in builds with grand entrances, castle gates, or redstone-free trapdoor mechanisms. Double Doors by Serilum fixes this annoyance completely. With over 6 million downloads on Modrinth, it has become one of the most popular quality-of-life mods in the Minecraft ecosystem. The concept is simple — click one door and its matching neighbor opens too — but the impact on daily gameplay is surprisingly significant. Whether you are building a medieval fortress with massive gate systems or just want your village houses to feel more realistic, this mod delivers exactly what it promises without any bloat.

Key Features of Double Doors

• Synchronized Double Door Opening — When you click one side of a double door, the matching adjacent door opens at the same time. This eliminates the awkward half-open door problem that has plagued vanilla Minecraft since the beginning, making every entrance feel polished and intentional.
• Trapdoor and Fence Gate Support — The mod extends beyond standard doors to include trapdoors and fence gates. This means you can build flush trapdoor floors that open in unison or matching fence gate pathways that swing open together — both features need to be enabled in the config file.
• Recursive Opening System — Connected door-type blocks can trigger each other in a chain up to 10 blocks away by default. This allows you to construct massive gates made entirely of trapdoors that all swing open from a single click, perfect for drawbridge-style builds and dramatic castle entrances.
• Pressure Plate and Button Activation — A single pressure plate or button can trigger an entire set of connected doors to open simultaneously. This removes the need for complex redstone wiring just to get two doors working in sync, saving time and making builds cleaner.
• Villager Compatibility — Villagers can also open double doors correctly with this mod installed. In vanilla Minecraft, villagers often struggle with double doors, leaving one half open. This fix makes villages feel more alive and functional without any additional configuration.
• Crouch to Override — Holding crouch (sneak) while interacting with a door disables the synchronized behavior and opens only the single block you clicked. This gives you precise control when you need to open just one side, ensuring the mod never gets in your way during detailed building work.
• Fully Configurable Distance — The recursive opening distance, trapdoor support, and fence gate support are all adjustable through the config file. You can fine-tune the mod to match your playstyle, whether you want subtle two-door sync or massive chain-opening mechanisms spanning 10 blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Double Doors work with modded doors from other mods?

Yes — Double Doors works with any door blocks that follow the standard Minecraft door mechanics. As long as two adjacent doors are identical block types, the mod will synchronize their opening and closing regardless of whether they come from vanilla or another mod.

Do I need the Collective library mod to use Double Doors?

Yes, Collective is a required dependency. Double Doors will not load without it. Collective is a shared library mod by the same author, Serilum, and is used across many of their mods to reduce code duplication.

Can I use Double Doors on a multiplayer server?

Yes — Double Doors works on both singleplayer and multiplayer. For servers, the mod needs to be installed on the server side. Clients connecting to a server with Double Doors installed do not necessarily need the mod on their end, as it operates through server-side logic.

How do I enable trapdoor and fence gate synchronization?

Open the mod's configuration file and set the trapdoor and fence gate options to true. By default, only standard doors are synchronized. The config file location depends on your mod loader, but it is typically found in the .minecraft/config folder after running the game once with the mod installed.

Can I disable the recursive opening to only sync adjacent doors?

Yes — set enableRecursiveOpening to false in the config file. This limits the mod to only opening directly adjacent matching doors rather than chain-opening connected blocks up to 10 blocks away. You can also adjust the maximum distance with the recursiveOpeningMaxBlocksDistance setting if you want recursive opening but with a shorter range.
