Trap Door Rotation/Orientation

[Kalarra]

Is it possible to rotate trap doors so that they open sideways instead of down? If not, I believe that this should be made possible. My reason for wanting this is purely aesthetic right now. I would like to make cupboards and use them as doors since they are only 1 block.

This has been suggested, by myself and many others, in the suggestions forums.

Nonetheless, its a great suggestion.

What would be even cooler is a cabinet block that can be opened and holds items like a table can display items.

Even more cooler than that would be that the items cannot be removed until the cabinet door opens. Not sure hwo thsi would work, but hey!

Didn't Adora use trapdoors on her hearth shaped locker for starter kits in Valentine Competition?

My best bet would be to do like with beacons : rotate another block, select your trap door, press R on you pre-rotated block to lock on it's rotation and place your trap door.

Edit 1 : You can barely see one of them at 1:07 in this video.

Edit 2 : I can't find a clearer picture, but I remember it was a stone trap door :)

Wouldnt it be the same as having them in their normal position and leaving them open when you want them "closed" and viceversa.

Not exactly. The way they are now, hinge position would be along the top edge and the trapdoor operates in an up down manner. I think what is being asked for would have the hinge position on one side or the other and the trapdoor would operate in a side to side manner. In other words, they want trapdoors to be rotatable to a position that they operate like doors :)

I see, thanks for clearing that up AvilerED :)

Got you. Let me try again :)

Have you tried using those half doors that are made for fences?

Excuse my Creativerse. It is a bit rusty haha.

[AvilerED]

Gates. Those have a half block offset whereas the trapdoors shut flush.

True. Maybe use slabs as the wall haha.
