Step 1: Build A "Template"

This can be your final design, or placeholder blocks for custom textures in Step 3.

Can be up to 9 x 9 blocks in size, and 1 block in depth.
Can use any full blocks, including transparent blocks like glass or screens.
Cannot use partial blocks (ladders, panes, bars or trapdoors) - See Step 3!
Cannot have any "cutouts" (missing blocks) - doors must be square or rectangular.

Step 2: Select

Right Click one corner with a hinge in hand, then Right Click the opposite corner. This outlines the selection in white.

Step 3: Customize

If the selection is a valid size and shape, it will open a GUI (menu).

Set Open Method

Left Click "Slide" to toggle options.

Slide opens by moving to the side (closed, half open, fully open).
Swing opens by moving 90 degrees (closed, open out, fully open/folded back).
Static does not open.

Block Rotations

Left Click blocks in the preview window to modify them.

Use the circular arrow icons to rotate the x y axis texture (ie for logs).
Use the straight arrow icons to flip the texture vertical or horizontal.

Custom Textures

Type in the search bar to look up available textures, even partial blocks like ladders.
Use < and > to adjust Width and Height to adjust sizing if required.
Supports textures added by mods, even if they are not "registered" blocks.

Placing Doors

Doors show a transparent overlay when held to help guide placement. Right Click to place the door.

Stand on the side you want the hinge to be:

If you want the door to slide or open to the right, stand on the right.
If you want the door to slide or open to the left, stand on the left.

Using Doors

Sequence	1	2	3
Slide	Closed	Half Open `50%`	Fully Open `100%`
Swing	Closed	Open Out `90°`	Fold Back `180°`
Static	Closed	Closed	Closed

Duplicating Doors

Useful if you removed the original template, used custom textures or need multiple copies of the same door.

Shift + Right Click a placed door with a hinge. Modify the door if desired, then use Build to duplicate (copy) it.
