There are quite a few door mods that do reverse the polarity of iron doors as suggested, so it's not a new idea by any means. I suggest it be an optional thing in the config so that you can choose classic or enhanced behavior for your server. Or perhaps a sign that is placed next to or under the door (say, by two blocks so it's under the floor) in order to reverse it?

@CommanderGizmo

Thanks, that does make it clearer for me. ;)

While it sounds like a cool idea, to have iron doors immediately open when placed changes the functionality that others may want to keep. Whats to keep people from placing a redstone torch next to the door to force it locked from the outside? (Thereby causing people to be locked inside.)

Still, the idea is intriguing, I will consider it and look into other possible alternatives. ;)

@ExtraordinaryBen

I mean that iron doors will close if there is power, and open if there is no power. This means that when you place one, it will immediately open until power is provided; at which point it is locked. This prevents someone from just putting down a redstone torch to gain access.

So, wood doors work as they always have in regards to redstone, but iron doors do the opposite. Providing power to one door in a double door system should be the same as powering both.

Does that make it any clearer?

@CommanderGizmo

Will definitely look into it. ;)

Though I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding what you mean with the iron doors, are you saying if only one door is powered both doors will remain closed? That way you have to power booth doors to open them? I'd help if you could explain an example for me. ;)

Does anyone feel like updating this to check redstone current too? If either door is powered it should open them both.

It'd be sweet if it could also optionally reverse the polarity of iron doors so that if either door is powered they stay closed.

Just so people know, 1.2.4 was somewhat of a minor update. So the 1.2.3 build I have below works fine. ;) (Confirmed with testing.)

@ExtraordinaryBen

Thanks man! Keep up the work!

Heh, actually I've been wanting to get my hands dirty in some Bukkit plugin coding. It took a good 3-4 hours, but I was able to update it. :D (With Minecraft's new data values, the new source code is actually easier to read.)

Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/?8yiakbl8ssyqo4f
Built on CraftBukkit-1.2.3-R0.2 (#2060) Beta Build

The source code is included inside the jar. Either you or I can create a new github fork to upload it to. (To be honest, I'm not that familiar with github yet. :P) If anyone experiences problems with my updated build, feel free to let me know. ;)

Now my next quest is to update ControllerBlock, previous attempts only partially work, it messes up when generating a config file.

Btw, awesome job on Safe Creeper, timvisee! I just started using it this morning and it already saved me and my sister's newly built tree house from being destroyed! :D How did the creeper get up the tree? I assume by the vines we left on the trunk for us to climb... O.o

@timvisee

Looking at the Repository page, I found out the source is located here: https://github.com/IchigoKyger/Doors-Open-Doors

For the sake letting people know why DoorsOpensDoors doesn't work currently, Minecraft 1.2 handles the data values for doors differently from 1.1: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Data_values#Doors

Can someone please update or make a plugin that is exactly like this, I would be very grateful!

Would love to see this work with iron doors, pressure plates, redstone, and the like. thanks though, using it for wooden doors right now and loving it!

Doesn't work properly since #1492

EDIT: It was a Bukkit-Bug. Works great with #1529 ;)

this doesnt work with redstone. can you make it do that?
