This redstone contraption creates a timed door that automatically opens and then closes after a short duration. The door can be temporarily disabled by shooting a button with an arrow. If an Infinity Bow is used, the arrow will despawn after a considerable amount of time, keeping the door inactive for an extended period.
The mechanism functions by using a button press to activate a piston-based door. The door remains open for a set time before retracting. Shooting the button with an arrow effectively holds it down, preventing the door from resetting and opening again until the arrow is removed or despawns.

How to Place It:
Moving parts
It includes Comparator, Redstone Torch, Redstone Wire, Repeater, Sticky Piston, so check the mechanism still works after pasting – redstone state and item-container contents do not always survive a paste.
