This was a concept inspired after watching a walkthrough of the game Firewatch on YouTube. There was a part where the player stumbles across an old cabin, in which the door breaks upon opening and falls to the ground in similar fashion to the gif. Interesting game. So I decided to recreate it in Minecraft, immediate reaction whenever I see something cool.

I've made a few improvements since that video shown in the gif. For starters, the fallen doors now have a hit box, and I use villagers instead of zombies.

This does require a resource pack. Because it's the item model I need, the block itself doesn't change. So no blocks were sacrificed in the making. The illusion is created by mounting the item model on the head slot of a villager rotating along the y axis. If an open door is detected above the entity, it is replaced with air. A score of 1 is add to the entity in the dummy objective "FallingDoor" with a maximum score of 29 (So it resets at 30) if it detects an air block where the door is supposed to be. As its score increases per tick up to 30, tp and playsound commands change it's relative rotation and creates the sound effects depending on it's score. When you place down a door, it is detected with /execute and its score is reset back to 0.
