Types of Minecraft Doors

Minecraft doors are craftable from various wood types (birch, spruce, oak, bamboo), but the material doesn't affect their durability or mob protection. Only zombies, husks, and vindicators can break them; others are deterred simply by a closed door.

All standard doors require a double right-click to open and close.

Superior to wooden doors, iron doors boast high fire resistance and exceptional durability against all mobs. They are opened using redstone mechanisms like levers.

Automatic Doors

Pressure plates automate door opening. Stepping on the plate opens the nearby door. Be aware that this affects both players and mobs.

Mechanical Automated Doors

Beyond crafting table doors, players can build complex mechanical doors. This requires significant resources:

  • 4 sticky pistons
  • 2 solid blocks (concrete, wood, etc.)
  • 4 solid blocks for the door
  • Redstone dust and torches
  • 2 pressure plates
