MalisisDoorsReborn

MalisisDoorsReborn is an unofficial modern-day re-imagination of the classic MalisisDoors mod by Ordinastie from the Minecraft 1.12 era, bringing its simple and flexible custom doors and door animations to newer Minecraft versions.

MalisisDoorsReborn focuses on preserving the original spirit, look, and feel as much as possible while rebuilding the experience around modern Minecraft systems. No external core libraries are required.

Selected doors from the original 1.7.10 version of HBM's Nuclear Tech Mod have also been included, bringing HBM's unique industrial style to MalisisDoorsReborn.

Optional support is also included for Macaw's Doors, allowing the majority of its 1x2 doors to be modified via the Door Factory.

How the Door Factory Works

The door factory is a self-powered machine that enables the design and creation of custom doors using a straight-forward interface. Custom door properties can be specified, such as the movement type (sliding, rotating etc.), sound, animation speed, and blocks can be inserted that are then used as materials to construct the frame, top, and bottom door panels.

For the top and bottom materials, a few items can also be entered for special effects:

Flint & steel gives a fire effect
Ender pearl displays a nether portal animation
Water bucket displays flowing water
Lava bucket displays flowing lava

Pre-existing stock doors, including the airlock, shoji, vanilla rotating alternatives, and compatible Macaw's Doors 1x2 doors, can also be used within the Door Factory and further customised.

How Forcefields Work

Forcefields come in two forms: a simple 1x2 Forcefield and configurable forcefield areas created by linking Forcefield Panels.

The 1x2 Forcefield behaves like a standard door and can be activated/deactivated simply by right-clicking.

Custom forcefields can be created, either vertically or horizontally, using Forcefield Panels and a Forcefield Linker. Place two Forcefield Panels, equip the Forcefield Linker, then right-click the first panel and right-click the second panel to create a forcefield. Again, a forcefield can be activated/deactivated simply by right-clicking.

Larger forcefields must be created on a flat, vertical or horizontal plane, and each axis is limited to a maximum size of 15 blocks. Any blocked positions inside the selected area are skipped, allowing forcefields to form around existing blocks.

A single-panel, horizontal trapdoor-style forcefield can also be created by selecting a Forcefield Panel with the Forcefield Linker and then right-clicking the same panel again.

When equipping the Forcefield Linker, any forcefields in range are highlighted using visual markers.

Camouflage Blocks

MalisisDoorsReborn includes new camouflage variants for door and trapdoor while still retaining the original fence-gate. These blocks can automatically blend into nearby builds, or be given a fixed appearance manually.

By default, a camouflage block samples the matching blocks on either side. If both side blocks are a valid match, the camouflage block uses that appearance. If no match is found, the normal fallback texture is used.

A specific appearance can also be applied manually:

Sneak-right-clicking with a valid block item applies that block as camouflage
Sneak-right-clicking with an empty hand clears the stored camouflage

Stored camouflage persists with the block, so manually applied appearances remain in place after reload.

Custom-Framed Big Doors

The Carriage Door and Medieval Door are extra-large double doors with customisable frames.

Craft the Carriage Door using an oak door, or the Medieval Door using a spruce door, together with five matching frame blocks. The finished door retains the chosen frame material.

Sample recipes using a selection of frame materials can be viewed through JEI.

Known Issues/Mod Compatibility

There is a conflict with the Fancy World Animations mod in that the Malisis Doors "vanilla" style doors for example don't animate properly. To resolve this just ensure the following entry is added to the fwa-blacklist.json found in the default Minecraft config directory:

{ "mods":[ "malisisdoorsreborn" ] }

Videos

The following videos demonstrate the original Malisis Doors mod by Ordinastie. Malisis Doors (Reborn) maintains the same core functionality for modern Minecraft versions.

Please note that these videos are for versions of Minecraft prior to 1.12.2 so they do contain information relating to the MalisisBlocks mod which was originally part of MalisisDoors. The Player Sensor is now part of the MalisisSwitchesReborn mod, available for later versions of Minecraft.
