If you have a problem with this plugin, please contact me either via PM, Discord, or the discussion section before / instead of leaving a review first! Not (only) because I don't like bad reviews for things I can and will fix/add quickly, but primarily because it is simply much easier to communicate via any one of those ways than via the review section!

Download the latest dev-build HERE. If you decide to use it, there are a few things you'll have to keep in mind:
- Dev builds will always notify you of the latest stable release as soon as it's available regardless of your settings.
- These builds might not be tested as thoroughly as the release builds.
- Dev builds may not always be backward compatible with the latest release build. This can occur if the database schema is changed in a dev-build for example (then the old version can no longer read the data). So be sure to make backups!

Add-ons
- Big Doors Opener (Created by @Eldoria). It allows you to automatically open doors based on conditions such as player proximity, player permissions, or time of day!
- Big Doors Physics (Created by @Bonn2). It adds collisions to the animated blocks!
FAQ:
- When will the new types (clock, flag, windmill, revolving door, garage door, etc) be released?
These new types are now available in the new plugin: Animated Architecture! - Will you add support for version 1.8 of Minecraft?
- No. Update your server! - How can I control doors from the console/command blocks?
- When issuing commands from the console/command blocks, you cannot use the door name. Instead, you'll have to use doorUIDs.
Resource pack:
The plugin comes with an optional resource pack that only contains sounds that are played during the
animation of the doors. It is not used for the animations themselves.
If you don't want to use the resource pack, you can disable it in the config. Look for the resourcePackEnabled option.
