Fancy Door Animations Mod adds fluid opening and closing movements to the standard doors in your world. It changes how wooden and iron doors swing when you interact with them, replacing the instant snap with a natural motion. This visual update applies to trapdoors as well, making your houses and hidden bases look much better when you walk through them. It works entirely on your computer, meaning you can join any multiplayer server and still see the new door movements without the server needing the mod.

Features:
- Adds a natural swinging motion to all vanilla doors and trapdoors instead of snapping them open or shut.
- Plays the new movement no matter what opens the door, including players, redstone signals, or wandering mobs.
- Works perfectly on multiplayer servers because it only changes what you see on your screen.
- Keeps your custom block designs looking normal since it respects all resource packs you have active.
- Runs smoothly alongside popular game optimization tools like Sodium and Iris.
- Shows a tiny texture shift at the end of the swing due to standard game textures, which you can solve by adding extra resource packs.
Configuration:
- Change your settings directly inside the game if you have Mod Menu and Cloth Config installed.
- Edit the options manually by finding the
config/fancy-door-anim.jsonfile in your game folder.
