Minecrafters have to collect six wood blocks of the same type or six iron ingots to craft a door. Then, arrange them on the crafting table. Remember to place six wood planks or iron ingots into two successive columns on the crafting table to shape a door.

III. How To Use & Install Doors In Minecraft

Minecraft doors can only be placed on a solid block or opaque. Therefore, it's impossible to place a door on a sign, Grass block, Glass block and its variants, and any other blocks that you can go through.

To install the door, point to the top of a solid block, slab, or stairs. Then, it will be placed in the place you want. Place another door with the same material and texture next to the first one to install a double door for your house.

All Kinds Of Doors
Only place a door on a solid block.

You'd better build double doors for your barns as large domesticated animals like horses and cows cannot go through a single door. Besides, using iron doors is better in the Hard Mode. It helps protect you from zombies that can break wooden doors easily. Moreover, these doors are not damaged by fire and lava after being placed.

That's how to make a door in Minecraft 2023. Use these Minecraft doors wisely to decorate your house, cover the barn, and use them as moats and traps.
