To make a basic door in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Gather six wooden planks of the same type of wood (e.g., oak, birch, spruce) or six iron ingots if you want an iron door.
- Open your crafting table to access the 3x3 crafting grid.
- Place the six wooden planks or iron ingots in two vertical columns, three items high, filling two columns side by side. This means placing them in the first and second columns, all three rows, to form a 2x3 rectangle.
- Once arranged correctly, a door will appear as the crafting result.
- Drag the door into your inventory.
- To use the door, place it on the ground by right-clicking the block where you want it to stand. You can then open and close it by right-clicking the door itself.
This method creates a standard wooden or iron door that can be used as an entrance to your buildings
. If you want more advanced doors, such as redstone-operated or hidden doors, there are tutorials available that show how to build piston doors and secret entrances using redstone components
. But for a simple door, the six-plank vertical arrangement is the way to go.
