Secret BYG Doors
Every great Minecraft base needs a hidden room, and every hidden room needs a door that nobody can spot. Secret BYG Doors solves that problem in style. This add-on bridges two popular mods, Oh The Biomes You'll Go and Super Secret Doors, and fills the gap with a full set of camouflaged entrances built from BYG's massive block palette. If you have ever wanted a bookshelf wall that quietly swings open or a stripped log that leads to a vault, this is the add-on for you.
What Secret BYG Doors Adds
The core idea is simple: take the disguise mechanics of Super Secret Doors and apply them to the wood types and decorative blocks that Oh The Biomes You'll Go introduces. The result is a huge catalog of secret doors and trapdoors that blend perfectly into your builds.
- Secret doors and trapdoors for all BYG wood types
- Plank variants for every wood set
- Log variants in both orientations
- Stripped log variants, also in both orientations
- All bookshelf types
- Sandstone types
- Blue and yellow nether bricks
- Additional decorative blocks from the BYG roster
Because each entry matches the texture and shape of its parent block, a hidden entrance can sit in a wall of identical blocks without a single visible seam. Builders who love redstone-free secrecy get exactly what they need here.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Secret BYG Doors is built for the Forge mod loader, which is the same ecosystem both parent mods rely on. In practice, that means you will need a Forge profile that matches the Minecraft version your copies of Oh The Biomes You'll Go and Super Secret Doors were made for. Most players run it on the 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 branches, where BYG saw its widest adoption, though later 1.19 and 1.20 builds exist depending on how quickly each dependency updated.
Requirements Before You Install
This is an add-on, not a standalone mod, so it will not load without its dependencies. Before anything else, confirm that Oh The Biomes You'll Go and Super Secret Doors are both present in your mods folder and that their versions match your game version. A mismatched dependency is the single most common reason players see a crash on startup.
How to Install Secret BYG Doors
Installing is straightforward once your dependencies are in place. Follow these steps:
- Install Forge for your target Minecraft version and launch the game once to generate the profile.
- Place Oh The Biomes You'll Go and Super Secret Doors into the mods folder.
- Add the Secret BYG Doors jar to the same folder.
- Restart Minecraft and check the mod list to confirm all three loaded without errors.
- Craft a few test doors in a creative world before using them in a survival build.
If you would rather skip the manual juggling of jars, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path for Secret BYG Doors, pulling the add-on and its dependencies together so nothing is left missing. Players who manage several worlds also appreciate that the launcher keeps each modpack isolated, so a version change in one profile never breaks another.
Tips for Using Hidden Doors in Builds
Getting the most out of these blocks is mostly about planning. Place your secret door inside a wall made entirely of the same block so the texture lines up, and avoid putting torches or item frames directly beside it, since lighting changes can hint at a moving block. For floors, trapdoor variants work best when surrounded by matching planks or logs. Redstone can still trigger every door if you want a lever hidden behind a painting, but the real appeal is that a plain right-click opens the passage with no machinery at all.
Where the Add-On Shines
Underground bunkers, librarian basements, treasure vaults behind bookshelves, and nether-themed fortresses all benefit enormously. The blue and yellow nether brick entries are especially good for hiding portals, while the sandstone options suit desert temples and mesa outposts.
Final Thoughts
Secret BYG Doors is a small add-on with a big impact. It removes the awkward mismatch between BYG's exotic building blocks and the limited disguise options of the base Super Secret Doors mod, giving builders a seamless way to hide anything they want. Download Secret BYG Doors, pair it with its two dependencies, and your next base can keep its best rooms completely off the map.
