A wooden door is a variant of the door made of wood that can be opened and closed by the player without redstone.

Obtaining

Wooden doors can be crafted from any type of planks, including those found in the Nether. Different types of wooden doors can also be found in multiple structures in the Overworld.

Breaking

A wooden door can be mined with anything, but axes are the fastest. Pistons can also break doors by pushing the piston head or any block into the door.

Wooden doors require a solid block beneath them for support. If that block is removed, the door breaks and drops itself.

Usage

Main article: Door ยง Usage

Wooden doors can be opened and closed using a redstone signal, or by players, villagers, piglins, wandering tradersโ€Œ, and vindicatorsโ€Œ. Wooden doors are also affected by the wind burst of thrown wind charges, causing them to open if closed, or vice versa.

In Hard difficulty, wooden doors can be broken by vindicators and all variants of zombies except drowned.

Some doors have built-in openings that are useful for determining the time of day. Regardless of this, all wooden doors allow light to pass through them.

Barrier

A vindicator breaking a closed wooden door placed sideways, even though it allows passage.

A wooden door can be opened or closed by pressing the Use Item/Place Block control. When a door opens or closes, it immediately changes its orientation without affecting anything in the space it "swings through".

Some zombies can break wooden doors in Hard difficulty. Zombies have a 5% chance to spawn with the ability to break doors. Vindicators spawned from a raid in Normal and Hard difficulty can also break wooden doors, but they do so only to reach targeted players, villagers, or wandering traders. In Java Edition, some vindicators may sometimes open a wooden door instead of breaking it. Both zombies and vindicators attempt to break a wooden door only when the door is in its "closed" state; this is the case even when the door is placed in such a way as to allow passage in its "closed" state and block passage in its "open" state (for example, by facing sideways when placing the door).

Redstone component

See also: Redstone circuit

Wooden doors can be controlled with redstone power.

A wooden door is a redstone mechanism component and can be activated by weakly powering any cardinally adjacent block.

When activated, the wooden door immediately opens. When deactivated, it immediately closes. Players and mobs can still open and close a door that is controlled by a redstone signal.

All methods of activating a door can be applied to either the top or bottom parts of a door.

Fuel

Overworld wooden doors can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1 item per door.

Note blocks

Wooden doors can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.

Air pockets

Doors in Java Edition can be used as air pockets underwater because they can't be waterlogged. They can also be used as air pockets in lava in both Java and Bedrock editions. A wooden door in lava does not burn.
