Client Automatic Doors
by phoupraw
Client Automatic Doors opens and closes doors, trapdoors, fence gates and similar blocks on the client as the player approaches them.
What it does
Doors, trapdoors and fence gates open and close automatically when a player walks up to them, so there is no need to click each one. Blocks are matched through vanilla block tags, and the mod also supports Dramatic Doors. Other mods can add custom blocks by subscribing to the ToggledBlockState event in its API.
The mod is a client-side utility with no effect on the server. It can be switched off or on from the command line through a trilevel config, set for the current world or globally, and the choice can be saved per world or for all worlds. Fabric API is required to run it. Client Automatic Doors is built for Fabric only, with files for 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the latest file is 0.3.0 for 1.21.1, released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 as open source.
Key features
Automatic door opening
Doors, trapdoors and fence gates open when the player approaches and close again after the player leaves.
Vanilla tag matching

Dramatic Doors support
Doors added by the Dramatic Doors mod are handled as well, without extra setup on the player's side.
Command-line toggle
A command turns the automatic behavior on or off, and the setting can apply to the current world or to every world.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits solo players and those who play on servers, since it runs on the client alone and needs nothing from the server side. It is useful for anyone who builds with doors and wants them to respond to movement.
