Doors can be used in the Minecraft game to open and close the pathway for an area that you want to use it for, and you can say that it will act as a barrier in the game.
Required Materials to Make Oak Wooden Door
In this article we are going to discuss the recipe for making the oak door, you can follow the same recipe to make other doors as well. Making it requires you to make 6 oak planks first and for that you need to find and chop the wooden oak tree that will give you an oak log. Oak tree is one of the most common trees available in the Minecraft game but if you are still unfamiliar with it then let me tell you that it is in dark brown color as shown in the image below. You can find this tree almost in every other biome but some of the common ones are the plains and jungle biome.
After finding this tree the next thing you need to do is to chop it and you can do it many ways. If you don’t have any tool then you can chop it with your bare hands as well but acquiring the required tool which is an axe in this case is highly recommended to increase the chopping speed.
This is an oak log in front of you that you will get after chopping the oak tree and it will automatically drop on the group and later you can pick it. Now one oak log will give 4 oak planks and as you need 6 so you need at least 2 oak logs to complete this recipe.
Making of the Oak Wooden Door
You can make the oak door by placing 6 wooden planks on the first two columns of the crafting table as shown in the image below:
You can follow the same recipe if you want to make a door from other wooden materials as well. For example, if you want to make the birch door you need to place 6 birch planks like you did for the oak wooden door.
The door on the left side is an oak door whereas the door on the right side is the birch door. As you can see that the style and design of these doors are different so you can choose any as per your liking
Advantages of Using Doors in Minecraft
Door are one of the useful items in Minecraft:
- Players use doors to protect the entrances as using them will prevent mobs to pass the entrances
- Can be used as water breathing pocket underwater
Conclusion
There are several wooden doors available in the game having a different style and appearance and you can use any of them as per your liking. You can use these doors to allow or block the pathway of others as it will act as a barrier.
A door is a block that can be used as a barrier that can be opened by hand or with redstone.
Obtaining[]
Doors can be found in any Overworld biome, and can also be crafted from any type of wood as well as materials found in The Nether. Some have built-in openings that are useful for determining the time of day.
Breaking[]
Wooden doors can be broken with anything, but axes are fastest. A pickaxe is needed to obtain an iron door by breaking it. All doors drop themselves if they no longer have a block beneath them that can support them.

- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
A door is removed and drops itself as an item:
- if the block beneath the door is moved, removed, or destroyed
- if a piston tries to push the door (trying to pull a door does nothing) or moves a block into its space
Natural generation[]
Doors generate in some generated structures, forming the entrances to the majority of buildings. Doors do not generate in zombie villages.

Crafting[]
Usage[]
Wooden doors can be opened and closed by players, villagers, wandering traders[BE only], vindicators[JE only], and piglins. Wooden doors can be broken by all variants of zombies (except drowned) and vindicators in Hard difficulty.
Iron doors can be opened only with redstone power.
Placement[]
Doors must be "attached" to a block beneath them. To place a door, use a door item while pointing at the top of the block it should be attached to. A door can be attached to:
More information about placement on transparent blocks can be found at Opacity/Placement.
When placed, a door occupies the side of the block facing the player, or behind a player if placed in the player's own space.
By default, a door's "hinge" appears on the side of the half of the block that the player pointed at when placing and its "handle" on the opposite side[Java Edition only], but the hinge is forced to other side by:
- placing a door besides another door (creating a double door where both doors open away from each other)
- placing a door between a full solid and any opaque block (top or bottom), making the hinge appear to attach to the solid block.
Behavior[]
Water and lava flow around doors. Lava can create fire in air blocks next to wooden doors as if the wooden doors were flammable, but the doors do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except throwing them into lava).
Mobs can spawn in a space occupied by a door.
The sound of opening and closing of a door can be heard up to 16 blocks away, like most mob sounds.
When placed using the /setblock command, only one half of a door is placed, because doors are actually two separate blocks. The lower half still works, but with graphical bugs, and the upper half does not. Redstone cannot be used because it updates the half, breaking it. The upper half does not drop anything when broken, the lower half drops a normal door. This implies that the upper half is dependent on the lower.
Barrier[]
A door can be used as a switchable barrier to entity movement. Although primarily used to block movement by mobs and players, a door can also be used to control the movement of boats (for example, a door placed in a two-wide water flow stops a boat when perpendicular to the flow, but allow it to move again when parallel), items and minecarts (a door can stop a falling item or minecart, then allow it to drop again when the door moves), etc.
In Java Edition, doors provide a breathable space if placed underwater. In Bedrock Edition, doors in water source blocks are waterlogged and do not displace water source blocks.
Doors are 0.1875 (3⁄16) blocks thick (0.1825 in Bedrock Edition). The rest of a door's space can be moved through freely. A door occupies two block spaces and both halves normally act as a single barrier, although doors can be opened or closed with a player or mob occupying the bottom block of the door,[1] in which case the player can jump up to land on the bottom half of the door and then again to land on top of the door.
To open or close a wooden door, use the Use Item/Place Block control. When a door opens or closes, it immediately changes its orientation without affecting anything in the space it "swings through". Moving doors do not push entities the way that pistons do.
Villagers, wandering traders,[BE only] vindicators[JE only], and piglins can open and close wooden doors when pathfinding.
Some zombies can break wooden doors in Hard difficulty. Zombies have a 5% chance to spawn with the ability to break doors. Vindicators spawned from a raid in Normal and Hard difficulty can also break wooden doors, but they do so only to reach targeted players, villagers, or wandering traders. Some vindicators may sometimes open a wooden door instead of breaking it.[Java Edition only] Both zombies and vindicators attempt to break wooden doors only when in their "closed" state, even if a door is placed so that its "open" state blocks access (for example, by facing sideways when placing a door so that it allows passage when closed and blocks passage when open).
Iron doors can be opened only with redstone power (a button, a redstone circuit, etc.). Any mob can activate an iron door by stepping on a pressure plate or by triggering a tripwire.
Redstone component[]
See also: Redstone circuit
Both wood and iron doors can be controlled with redstone power.
A door is a redstone mechanism component and can be activated by:
All methods of activating a door can be applied to either the top or bottom parts of a door.
When activated, a door immediately rotates around its hinge side to its open state. When deactivated, a door immediately returns to its closed state.
An activated wood door can still be closed by a player or villager and does not re-open until it receives a new activation signal (if a door has been closed "by hand", it still needs to be deactivated and then reactivated to open by redstone).
Fuel[]
Wooden doors can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1 item per door.
Note Blocks[]
Wooden doors can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.

| When placed, the bottom half of a door is placed instead. What data value this is is unknown. |
| The newly added iron door has an extra, unobtainable item form corresponding to its block ID. It can be obtained via inventory editors with numeric item ID 71. |
| When placed, the bottom half of a door is placed instead. What data value this is is unknown. |
| Oak door items can be obtained from the newly added debug chests, mainly from the 6th slot of the 3rd chest from the left, and the 17th slot of the 6th chest from the left. |
