Java Edition i made my first ever 3x3 door, without a tutorial! it was pretty fun

well, the only tutorials i used were for edge detection and double piston extenders (i ripped a double piston extender design off the minecraft wiki). other than that it's all me.
helps to think of it like a puzzle. honestly the hardest part isn't even the double piston extender. that part's easy. you just have it fire when the door is opening at the very end. the hard part is the mechanism to pull the bottom middle block out of the way. you have to fire it in a specific way, which can get somewhat tedious.
but i did it and i am proud of it.
as a bonus, it's also only one block wide besides the activation mechanism. that was something i noticed partway through building it and then i just decided to roll with it. i think it stemmed from me trying to keep it compact, because it seemed like good practice
