What it does

When a player walks up to an openable block, such as a door, gate, trapdoor or fence gate, the block swings open, and it closes again once the player moves away. The behavior runs on the player's own client, so it changes nothing on a server and works in single-player and multiplayer alike. The mod targets Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11 dated 2026-07-18, released under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Automatic door opening

    Doors open as the player comes near, so passing through a building needs no manual clicks.

  2. Gates and trapdoors included

    The same approach trigger works on fence gates and trapdoors, not only on standard doors.

  3. Automatic closing

    Once the player moves away, the openable block closes again on its own.

What the author says

This mod automatically opens the openable block when you approach any openable block (e.g., gate, trapdoor, fence, etc.) and closes it when you move away. I think yes although I haven't seen any restrictions on Mineberry and Simpcraft. Please let me know if there are any.
