While this has probably been suggested before, I was unable to find any earlier suggestions so here goes. I believe that new types of doors should be added to this mod. Currently, the only doors availabe for building are vanilla wooden doors and vanilla iron doors. This is a shockingly small amount of variety in an otherwise incredibly diverse mod. The gates already in the mod can be used to add some variety to doors in builds, but since they do not open like normal doors, have quite the wrong sound effect, and usually look too imposing for a humble door. Therefore, I believe that new types of doors should be added.

There are three options for how this could be done:


 * 1) 1 Specific Faction Doors

These would work much like the gates in that almost all factions would have a door that would fit with their aesthetic. They would be crafted just like a vanilla door, but on a faction crafting table producing a single door. The con for this option is that due to the unique colours that are expected for each faction, many doors may be so bold that they don't blend with most builds.


 * 1) 2 Specific Wood Doors

These doors would be crafted from 6 planks of the same wood type on a vanilla crafting table. For example, if you placed 6 orange wood planks on a vanilla crafting table in the normal door recipe than you would get 1 orange wood door. Each type of wood's door would have a different texture and colour based off the unique wood, much like what was done in the newer vanilla minecraft updates. Some doors would look more like they should be used inside and some would be constructed to look sturdier. If a mix match of wood planks from different trees were placed on a vanilla crafting table in the vanilla door recipe shape than you would just get the vanilla oak door. A new texture of an oak door that would be different from the vanilla door would also have to be created for when 6 oak planks were placed on a crafting table in the correct pattern. The main con with this option is that there is so many different types of wood that the amount of doors might be excessive.


 * 1) 3 A Little of Both

To negate the cons from both options a blend of both of them might be the best option. In this case only a few wood types and a few factions would get unique doors. The major advantage from this option is that Gruk wouldn't have to design too many different doors and would instead be able to just design the ones he wants to.
