AutoLatch

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.
