Animated 3D Doors Companion

Smooth opening and closing animations for every door and trapdoor – handles press down, bolts slide, trapdoors bounce. Companion to the Animated 3D Doors resource pack.

Animated 3D Doors Companion

You also need the resource pack: Animated 3D Doors The pack gives every door and trapdoor its 3D model, handles and bolts. This mod makes them move. Install both.

Vanilla doors snap from closed to open in a single frame. With this mod they swing. The handle goes down first, then the door swings open and bounces back a little when it hits the stop, as if you pushed it a bit too hard.

It's a small client-side Fabric mod. The animations themselves come with the Animated 3D Doors resource pack, so every door type gets its own movement.

What moves

Door What happens
Oak, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak The lever handle goes down and snaps back when you slam the door
Birch, Poplar The knob turns 90°
Mangrove The long handle bar tilts to the side
Spruce, Cherry, Pale Oak, Bamboo The ring handle turns and swings
Copper (every stage, waxed too) The padlock sways when the door opens or slams
Crimson, Warped The bolt slides back and snaps forward again
Iron The bolt pulls back, then the door opens slowly and evenly, no bounce

Doors never go past 90°, so they don't clip into walls. Wooden and copper trapdoors flip open with a bounce, iron ones move heavy and steady. Click a door while it's still moving and it turns around from where it is instead of jumping.

The first and last frame of every animation match the world pixel for pixel, so nothing flickers when the door settles.

Installation

  1. Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer for Minecraft 26.3
  2. Fabric API
  3. This mod
  4. The Animated 3D Doors resource pack, enabled in your resource pack settings

Without the pack, vanilla doors still get a basic swing, but no moving handles or bolts.

Works with

  • Sodium
  • Iris with shaderpacks. Doors keep their shader material and cast a shadow while they move.
  • Fancy World Animations. FWA leaves doors and trapdoors to this mod and keeps animating everything else.

The mod only runs on your side. It works on any server, and other players see normal doors.

For pack makers

Animations are plain JSON files in assets/<namespace>/a3d_animations/<block>.json, with keyframes for the door leaf and every moving part. If you make your own door models, you can ship matching animations with them.
