Well Greased
by Gauraaaaaaaa
Well Greased changes how doors, trapdoors, fence gates and levers animate in Fabric worlds, and its resource pack can replace the vanilla models for those blocks.
What it does
Well Greased adds animations to doors, trapdoors, fence gates and levers. Once installed, the animated behavior applies to these blocks automatically, with no setup needed for doors and trapdoors. Both Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Mod Menu is optional for its settings screen. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and a server can run without it.
The mod's included resource pack works in two ways. Textures alone do not change the vanilla models and need nothing extra. A pack that changes the vanilla models follows the assets/well path, and it splits each block into separate model parts so that a lever's handle and a gate's left and right halves can move on their own. Oak fence gate files show the pattern, and other wood types follow the same file names.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.4, with the beta 1.0.0-beta file dated 2025-11-25. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Animated doors and trapdoors
Doors and trapdoors open and close with an animation that the mod handles for every wood type.
Animated levers
A lever's handle swings between its two positions when a player clicks it, while the base stays still.
Animated fence gates
Fence gates open and close in a moving animation, with left and right halves that can be animated separately.
Resource pack models
A resource pack can replace the vanilla models with split parts for each state, using the same file names across wood types.

So one model for the base, one for the handle and one for the handle when the player has clicked on it. Basically, you'll have to separate the model to permit the animation of the…
