To make it more hidden, replace the blocks with bookcases. Then after the delays you can join the wires again and bring them to the pistons. Then split the redstone wires that go to the other 8 pistons one way has a delay of 1 tick, the other one a delay of 4 ticks. You have to make the delay from the input to the first four pistons, the ones that move the blocks into the wall, 2 ticks. You have to do some redstone wiring, though, and if you want to make the door 2 wide it needs at least 12 sticky pistons, 4 to move the blocks into the wall, 4 to move them sideways, and 4 to move the four pistons that moved the blocks sideways sideways. To make some more complicated and fancy ones, you can get the blocks to move first away from the player, and then sideways, allowing for 2 wide doors and it also allows you to build it so that the door appears at the middle of a wall, instead of it only being possible to make it either in a corner or in a tunnel of the desired width of the door, because now all the pistons are behind it. A very simple version is one that just moves 2 blocks to the side with 2 sticky pistons, which are hidden inside a wall and are powered by redstone. This does make sound though, so make sure they get far away before you activate it, if you don't want them to hear it.įully Hidden Piston Door Video ( view on YouTube)įor a door that is completely hidden except the lever/ pressure plate/ button to power it, you can use a piston door. This design runs smooth on multiplayer servers, and is actually pretty much the main reason to build this, more complicated version - it is easy to change the directions in tunnels, confusing people and they won't see the pistons so they won't realize that the path has been changed. Not to mention that it'll slow down the process, however, this door is just a little bit slower (around 5 torch delays slower). Though, another problem is that the bottom part of the door MUST come out from the floor, not from the sides, or as mentioned earlier, you'll have to make the door more complicated. The only cons are that the ceiling must be 2 blocks high, or you'll have to make the door more complicated. The design isn't too complicated and doesn't take up a whole lot of resources either. Also, this design can be activated from both sides, and still, everything is hidden. This design is fully hidden, no pistons or redstone visible.
For example, you can modify it to open with a self-destructing lever, or you can use mods like OpenComputers and use the computer to request a password to open the door.
Jeb doors come in two varieties: half and full.
