For all buildings in Minecraft, doors are a fundamental requirement. There should be a door in every building, even your first one. Without one, there will be angry mobs purging in to kill. You may start going towards fancier, more customized piston-powered doors later in the game, but it's better to only stick with the simple doors for now.
The simple doors that everyone begins with are wooden. They may not be as solid as doors made of iron, but they are still sufficient. Iron doors are stronger doors that don't break as easily as wooden doors. The only drawback is that it must be prompted to unlock in some manner, such as keys, levers, and pressure plates.
To make a door in Minecraft, you will need:
- 6 Blocks of wood or iron
To obtain blocks of wood. You need logs or wood of any type from the following: Oak, Birch, Spruce, Dark Oak, Acacia, and Jungle. The fundamental method of acquiring any type of log is the same. First, you locate a tree. Equip your axe, although you can do it with your hand too at the sacrifice of chopping speed. Left-click on a block of the tree’s trunk and hold. A block of log will drop. Pick it up.
One iron ingot is produced when one iron ore, which has to be mined, is burned in the furnace in presence of a fuel source as shown below:
To make a door, open the crafting area made up of the 3x3 grid. Fill the entirety of the 1st and 2nd columns with 6 Wooden Planks. This recipe gives you 3 doors. Now simply click the doors and drag them into your inventory.
Here is the step-by-step pictorial guide you need to follow to Make a Door in Minecraft:
Open your crafting table to begin crafting the ender chest with the obtained ingredients contained in your inventory. Once you open your crafting table you will have the 3x3 crafting grid similar to the picture below:
Add the objects to the grid on the crafting table. The elements need to be connected to the grid exactly as seen in the picture below. We will make an oak door in this case. Place 2 blocks of oak wood in the first row, leaving the last box empty, 2 blocks of oak wood in the second row, leaving the last box empty, and similarly 2 blocks d in the third row, leaving the last box empty. You'll find 3 doors in the box on the right after you've attached the pieces to the crafting grid as mentioned above.
Place the door in your inventory:
In Minecraft, there are three switching mechanisms that influence the doors' operation: buttons, levers, and pressure plates. Using these mechanisms makes it more easy and comfortable to use doors. Buttons are easy to build and much simpler to use. In order for it to work, the button must be adjacent to the door or connected via Redstone. A button only stays pressed for a moment, so the door will not remain open for more than a second or two.
The same process can be repeated with iron ingots to make an iron door. The crafting recipe would look something like the picture below:
Then place the door in your inventory:
Yes, they can. If you really want pressure plates without mobs coming in, maybe try one on the inside, but not the outside. On the outside, try putting a button. If you do, you will be able to quickly go outside, but not inside, but mobs will not be able to get in unless you let them.
Congratulations! Having a door stops mobs from entering your home uninvited or from ever entering your home at all. It is an easy and inexpensive investment to build a door for your home or hidden base, which will keep you and your possessions safe and secure. You may also rig a Redstone device to cover the entrance to your secret base or treasure room if you play on a server with other individuals.
