Description from the author on Modrinth

Better door knocking adds the functionality of knocking on all doors and trapdoors that share the tags:

"c:doors" or "c:[material type]_door" and can be used in compatibility with such mods.

To knock on a door simply punch the door with an empty fist while sneaking. many sounds are included for all vanilla wood types, iron and copper with subtitles included.

Showcase Video

The sounds included are not by me and are instead remixed from the creators listed below and links to their pages:

( Bamboo and warped doors were derived from existing Minecraft sounds )

If you find any problems with compatibility or otherwise please notify me.
