AutoLatch is a small utility mod that closes doors a few seconds after you open them. It is designed to feel like a natural extension of vanilla without adding extra systems or clutter.
Features
- Doors close automatically after a short, configurable delay
- Works with all standard wooden doors out of the box
- Iron doors are excluded by default to avoid interfering with redstone builds
- Supports modded doors that behave like vanilla doors
- Optional whitelist and blacklist for fine control
- Respects redstone power so builds behave as expected
- Optional retry if a door cannot close right away
Behavior
- Doors close using normal vanilla behavior
- No forced updates or strange interactions
- Safe checks prevent issues if a door is broken, moved, or already closed
- Repeated openings do not stack or cause conflicts
Performance
- Server-side only
- Very light impact with simple scheduling
- No client requirements
- No GUI, commands, or visual spam
Compatibility
- Works in singleplayer and on dedicated servers
- Designed to drop cleanly into modpacks without conflicts
Notes
- Redstone-powered doors are left alone unless configured otherwise
- Iron doors are off by default for safety
- Everything can be adjusted in the config if you want different behavior
Summary
Open a door, walk through, and it shuts behind you. That is it.
