Floating Trapdoors
Floating Trapdoors lets trapdoors stay in place when the block beneath them is missing, as on modern versions of the game.
What it does
Normally a trapdoor breaks once its support block is removed, but this mod keeps unsupported trapdoors floating. A player can place a trapdoor in the air, as in later Minecraft versions, and it remains where it was put. When a supporting block is later removed, the trapdoors that depended on it are destroyed, and placing a block next to unsupported trapdoors makes them break. The mod is a Forge build for Minecraft 1.6.4 only, released under All rights reserved and not open source. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Public links include the source code.
Key features
Floating trapdoors
Trapdoors stay in place after their support block is removed, instead of dropping off.

Breaking on support loss
Removing a supporting block destroys the trapdoors that relied on it, and placing a block beside unsupported trapdoors breaks them.
