About this Mod

A relatively simple mod that plays a knocking sound whenever you punch a door or trapdoor.

The sound is different depending on if the door is made of wood(openable by hand) or metal(requires redstone power).

We plan on updating this mod to 1.21.1 and above. Fabric and Neoforge ports will be added later on.
