Want openable windows? Trapdoors you can see through? 

Look no further...

Now you can craft glass trapdoors from glass blocks and wood planks. Or, if you have leaded glass, you can craft leaded glass trapdoors from glass panes and metal bits. The leaded panes are fixed to the orientation of the block, so return the crafted leaded glass trapdoor to the crafting grid to rotate the pane's orientation.
 
These doors are all airtight. Works with RealSmoke and inherits all vanilla trapdoor behaviors. Supports all Wildcraft tree species!
 
If you want matching 2x1 doors and windows, check out Glass Doors and Sliding Windows.
 
This was my first mod! If you have ideas for improvements, feel free to open a PR or Issue in the repo.
 
Known issues
There is a known rendering bug in VS that sometimes occludes (hides) other transparent blocks and particle effects if they're behind a partially-transparent object, like these windows or regular leaded glass panes and blocks. The bug is more than 3 years old now so I don't know when it'll get fixed. If you know something about weighted order independent transparency rendering, give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

LunaTheFox oh wow, that is such a good idea! we need another use for lead solder and the iron. I'll update the recipe in the next release. Thank you! And did you see the new sliding ones?


Beedy Thank you so much. I don't know how I'd get you test versions but I welcome all your feedback.

💬 LunaTheFox, Nov 6th at 12:49 AM

Honestly I was thinking about using something like solder to bind the window pane with the metal

Kinda like this or this
allong with that a sliding one would be neat :3

Great concept. Great mod. Because of that, I won't see the issues and ignore them, I reported the issues on GitHub. Looking forward for upcoming versions and your future mods. This was a solid first mod. Good luck. I'd be happy to be a tester of later versions too.

El_Neuman I love that mod! Are you saying it doesn't work in your game? Seems to be compatible in mine.

💬 Beedy, Nov 3rd at 6:56 AM

I've always wanted something like this in the game. Thank you. I'll soon try it.

💬 El_Neuman, Nov 3rd at 6:53 AM

@MissesHex I really love this mod!

Do you think it would be possible to make it compatible with Real Smoke, so that the smoke goes out through the window when it’s open?

@LunaTheFox I thought about it, but there isn't a craftable metal trapdoor in vanilla. The closest is the 1x1 iron hatch, which is used in the kiln and crafted on the anvil. Doesn't seem like a use case for glass, nor would it make sense to hammer the glass into a plate. 

💬 LunaTheFox, Nov 3rd at 2:41 AM

Any chanceyou could add a iron glass trapdoor?
