Review The Magic Doorknob

Magic Door Handles in Minecraft

The possibilities of the Minecraft game allow players to create various types of rooms, buildings, and structures of almost any shape. With a small set of redstone circuits, unique automatic systems and devices are available, which can be used to make traps, hidden passages, and innovative mechanisms. However, in the vanilla world, there are still certain limitations. For example, to make a hidden passage, a player needs to allocate an area about 4 times larger than the door's thickness. And that really takes a lot of time. If you don't want to do it manually, you can use another way…

The Magic Doorknob mod adds “magic buttons” to the game, allowing players to create hidden passages that let them organize small 1-block-wide corridors to access a specific location anywhere. Several such buttons are added, crafted from different materials, and each generates a corridor of a different length. These innovations open up many additional possibilities, both for players on a server and for the project in general, as this functionality can be used for different purposes. In this review, we not only tried to explain but also visually show you the main advantages of the mod and how the whole system works.

The game adds “magic door handles” (buttons), with which you can create a passage to any cave, rock, or building in just a few clicks. After installing the mod, several types of door handles will appear, each with different characteristics. The player only needs to attach this item to a vertical structure of several blocks (if there are only two, then to the top one) to create a passage. Depending on the material, its length will change. For example, wooden door handles generate a corridor only two blocks long, while diamond ones generate eight blocks. It all depends on the material, but in fact, the player only needs one button for all structures.

Features of The Magic Doorknob mod:

· Creating magic handles (buttons). You can call this construction whatever you want, but the essence of its work does not change: attach it to any surface, and a corridor of a certain length automatically appears in that place, depending on the material used;

· Different types of materials. You have access to 5 different handles (wooden, stone, iron, gold, and diamond), and the length of the generated tunnel varies from 2 to 8 blocks;

· Unique design. When creating a tunnel, all blocks will have a line made of the material used to craft the door handle. As a result, it looks really beautiful and unusual for vanilla survival;

· Support for all blocks. The corridor is automatically created for all blocks in the game, no matter what is in front of you: sand, dirt, obsidian, bedrock, or any other materials. This is a very convenient system that allows you to make hidden passages of any type;

· Simple mechanics. If you want to walk through the corridor, you need to right-click while holding the door handle, after which this structure will appear inside, and it doesn’t matter what is in front of you: a mountain, a building, or a rock. If you remove the button, the structure will hide, and the item will return to your inventory;

· Versatility. You only need to make one door handle to open any passages. For example, you made the diamond version. Just take this item with you everywhere to open and close corridors;

· Preservation of structures. Even if there were some constructions or blocks in the rock or building, they will return to their place after you remove the button, and all contents will be filled back with materials;

· A wide range of possibilities. Using The Magic Doorknob mod, players can add such constructions to create hidden passages, locations, unique arenas, treasure rooms, and it doesn’t matter what materials were used in their creation, as the system creates corridors in any of them;

· No indication. The main advantage of the add-on is that other players will never know where these corridors are and how to get inside, because there are no indicators if the player has broken the door handle.

The possibilities of this add-on are as broad as possible for players, both for single-player survival and for server play. Now any of you will have your own mechanism that allows you to create a passage in just a couple of clicks and then hide it so other users won’t see it. And this mechanic works with all available blocks, both from the vanilla version of the game and from third-party mods. Crafting the button is not cheap. For example, to create the diamond version, you will need to spend 4 diamonds, but you can always activate all constructions with the same item, saving your resources.

As a result, the Magic Doorknob mod can be safely recommended for installation in any version of the game, as the idea is really cool, and for vanilla survival, this is an interesting approach that allows you to diversify your gameplay as much as possible. It’s an ideal option for multiplayer servers where players can create their hidden locations, hide resources, and use obsidian or bedrock (if available) more often to create protected rooms. Be sure to try playing with this add-on to appreciate all its functionality and test the available items, corridor generation, and many other features.
