Doors Closed
by Estecka
Doors Closed makes villagers shut every door they pass through, so village entrances stay closed instead of drifting open.
What it does
In vanilla, villagers are meant to close doors they have opened, but now and then one fails to. Villagers also leave a door alone when they find it already open. Over time a village with no player involvement tends to end up with every door standing open. The mod changes villager behavior so any door they walk through gets closed afterward, and it also fixes the rare case where a villager skips a door.
Installation needs only Fabric; it is published for Fabric alone, across 25 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3. Doors Closed runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Villagers close doors
A villager that walks through a door closes it again, whether the door was shut or open when it arrived.
Missed doors fixed
Corrects the rare case where a villager walks through a door and leaves it open.
Server-side behavior
Only the server needs the mod; the change applies to villagers in the world for every player.

What the author says
Makes villagers close doors more aggressively. In vanilla, villagers are already supposed to close doors they have opened, but ocasionally, they fail to do so. They also never close a door that was already open. Without player intervention, a village will tend toward a state of having all doors open at all time. Not…
