VAULT DOOR (4X4)
A massive 4x4 piston door that opens with dramatic flair. Blocks spiral outward or retract in layers. Requires advanced timing and understanding of piston push limits.
Materials List
Step-by-Step Build Guide
- 1Plan the retraction pattern: blocks must move in sequence to avoid push limit conflicts.
- 2Build the outer frame with enough depth for piston assemblies (7+ blocks deep).
- 3Place piston pairs for each row/column of door blocks.
- 4Wire timing circuits: outer blocks retract first, inner blocks follow.
- 5Use double-piston extenders for blocks that need to move more than 1 block.
- 6Add T flip-flop for toggle control (open/close with one button).
- 7Test each layer independently before connecting the full timing chain.
- 8Fine-tune repeater delays until the animation is smooth.
