To make a door in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Gather six wooden planks of the same type or six iron ingots if you want an iron door.
- Open your crafting table to access the 3x3 crafting grid.
- Arrange the six wooden planks or iron ingots in two vertical columns, three items high, filling two columns completely (two wide and three high).
- This crafting pattern will yield one door.
- Once crafted, place the door in the world by selecting it in your hotbar and right-clicking on the desired spot.
- You can open and close the door by right-clicking on it.
Wooden doors can be made from any type of wood, while iron doors require redstone mechanisms to open and close. Doors can also be found in villages, shipwrecks, strongholds, and woodland mansions if you prefer to collect them rather than craft
. For more advanced door types, such as redstone-powered or hidden doors, more complex building techniques involving pistons and redstone circuits are used
. However, the basic crafting method described above is the simplest way to make a standard door.
