So there are 35 different types of wood in the mod, and yet there is currently only one type of wooden door, that being the vanilla oak door. This can be kind of annoying when building for factions like the elves, whose building style tends towards using a lot of wood, usually not oak. I'm aware of the recent gates addition, but there are many circumstances where you want a door instead, particularly for small houses or inside a larger building.

Some possibilities for door design would be to have each type of door be unique, with doors styled towards the faction(s) most likely to use that wood for building (eg Galadhrim for mallorn doors, Tauredain for mangrove etc). A simpler idea would be to have the doors all be based on the vanilla oak door, but with different shadings matching the corresponding planks, fences etc.

Alternatively instead of wood-specific doors you could have faction-specific doors, crafted on the respective crafting tables using the wood-types that spawn in the faction's biome(s). This also allows custom doors to be made for factions like Mordor that use very little wood, using rock instead of planks to craft it.

As a sidenote, it would be nice if dwarven doors could have Sarlluin and Sarncaran (when Red Mountain dwarves get added) variants, as grey stone doors can look out of place surrounded by blue or red stone.

I cant imagine this being particularly difficult to add, so hopefully other people like my idea and it gets added shortly!
