Blocks & Decoration Background doors

[inomanoms]

It would be nice if when attempted to be placed in spot against the floor with player placed background wall and no lintel, doors would appear as 2 by 3 tile background decorations.

It was not long after people were faking windows with glass blocks that glass walls were introduced in 1.2. For me, the ability to created background doors is a logical next step.

Speaking of doors. I would like to suggest hatchways. Bassically a door in the floor.

Oh heck yes. Background doors would be great for making towns and fleshing out oversized bases.

Do you mean 1.1? Anyways, I guess this would work but it would be a little strange to have.

Background doors can be emulated easily, it'd be too complex to go into detail over, look at some of Yrimir's videos and you'll find how he took advantage of hammered blocks and opened doors.

I am familiar with Yrimir's videos, but if you know specifically where to find this, it would be nice of you to link since there are so many.

I have emulated open background corridors and closets before with paint, but still feel background doors would be nice (and sensible) addition.

Here is an example of some background doors and hallways that I made for a hospital build a long time ago:


Here is an example where open doors have been placed into the game via a map editor in their open state (upper floor). You have to be careful with wiring though--these doors are fragile and will break if, for example a toggle-able torch is placed next to them.


Edit: on second thought, these doors are probably just opened doors with blocks over them that have been hammered to half-block after the door has been placed. If so, it's still strange that these doors can be "opened".
