Step-by-Step Build Guide

  1. 1Dig a 2-wide, 3-deep trench below where the door will be.
  2. 2Place 2 sticky pistons facing up in the trench, one block below the door position.
  3. 3Place 2 more sticky pistons facing down above the door position (mirror the bottom).
  4. 4Attach your door blocks to the piston faces (these are the blocks that will open/close).
  5. 5Run redstone dust from a button to all 4 pistons (use repeaters to split the signal).
  6. 6Place buttons on both sides of the door for entry and exit.
  7. 7Test: pressing the button should retract all 4 blocks simultaneously.
