Door in Minecraft

The Door is a block in Minecraft that can be opened and closed and acts as a barrier against most of the hostile mobs in the game. They can be opened by hand, broken, or using a redstone signal.

Natural generation

Doors can naturally generate in any village and Woodland mansions in the Overworld. In the Nether they may spawn in Nether Fortresses. Strongholds, and a few shipwrecks may also contain a naturally spawning door at the entrance.

Types of Doors

There are a variety of doors players can make depending upon the material they choose to make it with. However, it doesn’t change the function of the door but it may change the durability.

The Types of doors and materials used in Minecraft are listed below:

Oak Door (Oak trees)
Spruce Door (Spruce trees)
Birch Door (Birch Trees)
Jungle Door (Jungle Wood)
Acacia Door (Acacia Wood)
Dark Oak Door (Dark Oak trees)
Iron Door (Iron Ingots)
Crimson Door
Warped Door

All the Doors mentioned above, except the Iron door, are of wood and can be broken with a hand or axe. The Iron Door requires a Pickaxe to break.

Likewise, the wooden doors can be opened by hand by villagers, wandering traders, indicators, and piglins. But the Iron Door requires redstone power to open.

Uses of Doors

Doors can be used by players to guard house or area entrances as they do not let most of the Hostile mobs in Minecraft pass through. Players can set them up by placing them on top of a solid block.
Players can make a temporary Water Breathing pocket by placing a Door underwater. However, this trick only works in Java Edition and not the Bedrock Edition.
Players can also connect Doors to Redstone power and components to make an automatic door using a Lever or a Pressure plate. However, be careful as the zombies and other mobs can also trigger Pressure plates.

Players need to be careful because some Zombies and Vindicators have the power to break open Wooden doors on Hard Mode.
