So this a video showcase and tutorial how to build the upper part of a non seamless 4 high tilable door, which in my oppinion is pretty badass. Since it's so compact and so small, its very and resource friendly to build on a SMP world :)

Fuction: Press once and door opens. Press it again and it close.
Got a request about so this is my attempt at it. Might be many better/smaller ways to do this, but this is what I figured out anyhow :)")

Me and thegunmaster were fiddling around with these 3 high expandable walls, and we each made our own version. This is probably cheap as it can get, and its also very fast! Not the smallest, since this is more ment for people who actually do want to build it.")

Shows 2 techniques how to send a signal down without the use of redstone staircases etc. The first one takes advantage of items dispensed by a dispenser, which lands on a wooden pressure plates, and the second one a boat on pressure plates which is on or of depending if theres any water.
Dispenser method Pros and Cons:
+ Quite fast
+ Transmission pipe only 1x1 unit
- 5 Minute cooldown (and 5 minute on time)
- Needs to sacrifise some type of item.
When this method could be useful: When you need to activate something which you rarely activate which is far beneath the ground, perhaps where there is little room for a redstone curcuit staircase. Might be an idea to hook up 2 of these to a memory cell so you can shut it off as well.
Water+Boat method Pros and Cons:
+No need to sacrifise anything
+No cooldowns
+Transmission pipe only 2x1 o 1x1 unit
-Takes a long time to shut off (except if you use a one block water stream)
When this method could be useful: When the 5 minute cooldown of the other method is a problem and you active/deactivate this often. Also good when theres little room for vertical transmissions with redstone staircases.")

The concept which AlexPaqette1 came up with, but compacted into its most smallest form.

ShizelFish finished the first most compact version, which was a continuation of my bottom part, however, it was greatly redone. Heres his video: http://youtu.be/nFyesD1m6A8
Obviously I was not in a rush, and wanted it as simple as possible, and this is the version i settled with. The top part could probably be a tick or 2 faster, but cant be bothered now :)")
