Obtaining

Breaking

Potato doors can be broken with anything, but axes are the fastest. Potato doors drop themselves if they no longer have a block beneath them that can support them.

Note: No version exists with both copper tools and this block, but the breaking time can be calculated from the block's hardness.

Natural generation

Potato doors generate naturally as part of potato villages.
