About
Im not sure if this can be strictly considered a fork, but the project was originally inspired by this datapack.
About a year ago, I wanted to install that datapack on my Paper server. Unfortunately, due to the poor optimization of datapacks in Minecraft, it didnt function correctly and consumed a massive amount of server resources. Sometime later, I recalled this issue and decided to write a custom plugin for animated doors that operates on the exact same principle as the original datapack, but with significantly better performance.
Features
- Smooth Door Animations: Recreates the original visual aesthetic without the performance overhead.
- Double Door Support: Automatically opens two adjacent doors simultaneously for a more realistic feel.
- Mass Conversion Tool: Easily convert existing doors on your server to the new format using a single command.
