DoubleDoors is a lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin that makes double doors and fence gates behave as a linked pair — opening or closing both sides with a single click, then automatically shutting them after a configurable delay.
Features
- Linked double doors — click either side of a double door and both open/close together
- Linked fence gates — same behavior for side-by-side fence gates of the same wood type
- Auto-close — doors and gates automatically close after a configurable tick delay (default: 3 seconds)
- Chat timer — players see a color-coded message showing how many seconds until auto-close
- Vertical 2x2 support — optional: also links a second door pair stacked directly above (2-tall doorway)
- Iron door bypass — iron doors are ignored by default (controlled by redstone, not players)
- Redstone-aware — powered doors/gates are never force-closed by the auto-close timer
- Empty-hand mode — optionally only trigger when the player's main hand is empty
- Zero dependencies — pure Bukkit/Spigot API, works on both Spigot and Paper
Installation
