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).
