LLS Missing Blocks

Barn Doors144 of them. Three sizes, sliding or swinging, plain or windowed, every wood.

What it is

Vanilla doors are one size, and they’re player-sized. That’s fine for a house and useless for a barn — the moment you build anything with a real opening in it, you’re stuck framing it with fence gates or leaving a hole.

These are doors that fit the building.

Three sizes × two actions × two styles × twelve woods = 144 doors.

They actually move

This is the part vanilla can’t do. A vanilla door swaps between two block states — shut, then open, with nothing in between.

Here the door is a real animated entity. Interacting flips its open property and the client blend-transitions between the two poses, so you watch a big barn door roll or swing through its whole arc. It sounds right too, using the correct wooden door sounds per wood — including the cherry, bamboo and nether variants.

Doubles that move together

Place a second door beside an existing one and it auto-mirrors, so the pair opens outward from the middle like real barn doors instead of both sliding the same way.

They’re also linked: toggle one and its partner moves with it. You don’t have to click both sides.

How it’s built

The door item places no visible block at all. It spawns the animated entity and fills the doorway with invisible collision blocks — thin, centred, and unselectable — so the opening is solid when shut and genuinely walk-through when open. Toggling the door removes and replaces them.

The doors are deliberately inert: no gravity, no knockback, fire-immune, unpushable by players or pistons, and they take no damage. Nothing in the world can shove your barn door out of its frame.

Punch it to break it. The entity and its collision blocks are removed together and the door drops back as a single item.

Fences & GatesA gate wide enough to drive through, and fences in two heights.

What it is

A vanilla fence gate is one block wide. That is fine for a garden path and useless for a paddock — the moment you want to get anything bigger than yourself through a fence line, you’re stood there breaking and replacing posts.

So the centrepiece is a gate that spans two blocks in a single leaf, hinged on one end post, swinging the whole span open at once. A tractor fits through it.

It actually swings

The gate opens on a smooth 0.4-second arc, not a snap between two positions.

That is more work than it sounds. Bedrock blocks cannot animate at all, so the gate is not a block — it’s a persistent entity carrying the mesh, with a pair of invisible collision blocks the script adds and removes underneath it. Interacting flips a property the engine reads directly, the client blends between the closed and open poses, and the script only steps in afterwards to move the collision and play the sound.

The upshot: it moves like a gate, and it stops a cow like a fence.

Two gates make a double gate

Place a second gate alongside the first and it mirrors itself automatically. The hinges go to the outside, so a four-block opening parts from the middle rather than both leaves swinging the same way like a pair of saloon doors that got the wrong hinges.

The fences themselves

Garden height is the low rail you’d run round a vegetable patch. Tall is the paddock rail — and getting it genuinely taller than a vanilla fence took a workaround, because no custom block can have a collision box more than one block high. The tall fence stacks a second, thinner piece above itself to carry the extra height rather than pretending one block can do it.

Both connect to their neighbours the way vanilla fences do.

Path Slab

Vanilla has a dirt path block but no half-height version, so there’s no clean way to step a path down half a block or run one alongside stone and wood slabs.

It’s 8px tall and always sits in the lower half of its block — no top-half placement, no double-slab merge. The path shade is on all six faces, deliberately unlike vanilla’s dirt-sided path: it blends into a path run rather than into a dirt wall, which is the whole point.

Grass Slab

The same idea for grass — a half-height block that reads as lawn rather than as a dirt block with a green lid, so a raised bed or a stepped garden doesn’t have a brown stripe running round it.

A bucket you can make on day one out of the wood you already have, instead of hunting three iron. Same recipe shape as the vanilla bucket — two planks, a gap, then one plank below — so any wood works and mixed woods are fine.

It behaves like the real thing rather than a lookalike:

It doesn’t carry lava. That’s the one deliberate break from vanilla: a pail made of planks has no business holding molten rock, so clicking a lava source does nothing at all. Iron stays the price of moving lava, which keeps the wooden bucket an early-game convenience rather than a straight upgrade.

Two things it can’t do, both Bedrock’s fault rather than choices: a dispenser won’t fire it, because dispenser behaviour is hardcoded per item and isn’t exposed to add-ons at all; and it can’t scoop the water out of a waterlogged block. There are no fish buckets yet — those carry the captured mob’s identity, which is a bigger job.

Vanilla has no chair. If you want to sit down in your own house, your options are parking a boat in the living room or riding a minecart, both of which look exactly as silly as they sound.

So: an oak stool. Place it, interact with it, and you’re sitting on it, facing the way you were looking. Sneak stands you back up. Sneak + interact isn’t a sit at all, so you can still build against a stool.

You keep full use of your hands while seated — you’re a passenger, not a driver, so a fishing rod cast from a stool works exactly like one cast from a boat.
