Engineer's Doors adds doors, trapdoors, and fence gates made out of materials from Immersive Engineering ("IE"). You must install IE to use this mod.
Here's a short feature list:
- Doors in concrete, steel, and treated wood, with cosmetic "ornate" and "reinforced" variants
- Trapdoors in steel and treated wood
- Fence gates in aluminium, steel, and treated wood
- Recipes are analogous to vanilla Minecraft's corresponding blocks, and variants are cycled just like IE scaffolding.
- Steel doors and trapdoors are redstone-only by default, but can be configured to be "manually" openable too. Manual steel doors work with Quark's double-door-opening feature if Quark is installed and that feature enabled (normally Quark won't do this for metal doors).
- Trapdoors work better than vanilla ones in conjunction with ladders; open trapdoors with ladder below act like ladders with a number of ladders from other mods, while vanilla trapdoors only recognize vanilla ladders for the same feature. IE and Quark ladders are explicitly supported, and other mod ladders are supported if they inherit from the vanilla BlockLadder class.
- The IE village engineer's house uses treated wood doors instead of oak ones (if the structure's enabled on IE's end). Treated wood doors are valid as "village doors".
Here's a list of planned features that might or might not materialize at some point:
- More doors and trapdoors?
- Large doors
- (Partial?) MalisisDoors support
- More types of IE-themed decoration…
As an add-on mod, this mod's textures are derivative of the original Immersive Engineering textures by Damien A. W. "Hazard", under the permission in the IE license allowing texture reuse in add-on mods.
You may use this mod freely in modpacks, but you must follow the Minecraft EULA and the Immersive Engineering license, credit mod authors appropriately, and so on. Just don't be a jerk. :)
If you send me a language file for a language you'd like this mod to support, I'll gladly add it to the mod and credit you. Current language support with credits:

Hey Nihiltres, just could not resist commenting that there is no IE setup without your brilliant mod! Cheers, wile.

Glad you're enjoying it! :)
A 1.10.2 Version would be wonderful

I'm not planning to backport this. If someone else wants to backport it, I'm willing to upload it here, but they should contact me first.
steel bar fences perhaps?
In reply to yfa75611:
I'm not sure what you're suggesting; IE already has steel fence, crafted using steel rods, and steel posts, crafted with steel fence. This mod already adds steel fence gates to match the steel fence.
I suspect that whatever you're suggesting is out of scope for this mod, but if it's an idea I can incorporate into another mod…

In reply to yfa75611:
OK, that's much clearer! A steel version of iron bars is definitely out of scope for this mod, but I'm working on at least one other IE add-on where it might fit … I'll play around with art for the idea and see how that goes. :)
Would you consider allowing the Engineer's Hammer to switch the "manual" opening behavior of the doors? Perhaps with a shift-right-click?
In reply to SirChamomile:
Blocks (in 1.12) can only save 16 distinct states, or 4 bits of data. Doors use all four already: two bits for direction (facing), one bit for opened/closed, and one for top/bottom half. Blocks can have more states in practice (e.g. doors' "powered" property, or fence connections) but those aren't saved, but rather the game figures them out from other stuff. To save a "manual" property I'd need a "fifth bit", so I'd have to play a trick like using a TileEntity (stores however much data it needs, but … overkill!) or more reasonably, swapping between two different but identical-looking door blocks with different opening behaviours. Or, I could break basically everything (door logic, compatibility, my art, etc.) and try determining top/bottom dynamically to free up the needed bit of data (yuck!). Or, in short, it's technically a pain. In 1.13 the four-bit limit doesn't exist anymore, but neither Forge nor IE exist for 1.13 as of this comment.
In practice, I include the manual behaviour as a config switch because it offers flexibility for users between two choices that are roughly equally valuable, but I also think it's valuable that doors be consistent for a given world.
Given those reasons, I choose not to implement such a feature. Thanks for the suggestion, though; I always appreciate suggestions and bug reports. :)
In reply to Nihiltres:
Is there any way you could get double door action added? I love the mod, but all of the double doors I use will only open one at a time, instead of together like normal oak/vanilla doors.
In reply to Bernarr:
Double doors opening together isn't a vanilla feature. Unless there's a new bug in 0.8, this mod supports Quark's double-door-opening feature both implicitly (doors extend vanilla ones) and explicitly (there's special code to support manual steel doors opening together). What mod are you using that adds it? I can confirm right now that MalisisDoors isn't yet supported.
In reply to Nihiltres:
In reply to Bernarr:
Quark disables its version of the feature if MalisisDoors is loaded, so my mod's just respecting Quark's feature being disabled.
Hmm. I suppose I could easily force-enable the double-door feature on my end if MalisisDoors is loaded, as a stopgap for proper support for that mod. I have most of the code already in place to be able to do that, just most of the time I'd rather my doors match the behaviour (modded or not) of the vanilla doors.
In reply to Nihiltres:
Do you think compat with Malisis Doors is possible? So we can get a nice swinging animation on the doors
Oops sorry, didn't see the planned features bit
In reply to Cybercat5555:
1.10.2 version ?
In reply to Stefano19:
I'm not planning to do any work to backport this mod.
If another developer wants to backport it, I'm open to uploading their port through this project and crediting them for it; they should message me.
