How To Make Redstone Doors In Minecraft 1.19

Once you know how they work, Redstone components in Minecraft can be the most useful part of your build. They can power your farms, run your rails, and even automate your lighting system.

To start working with Redstone, it is best to go from the most simple part of your build - the doors. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase how to make redstone doors in Minecraft 1.19

Mining Minecraft Redstone — Redstone is part of the more advanced builds in Minecraft.

1. How to make a simple Minecraft Redstone door

You can rig the door to trigger with either a button or a pressure plate.

Preparations

Button (any)
A Pressure Plate (any)
Building Blocks (any)
An Iron Door

Players need to use an iron door for this, as several mobs can open wooden doors by themselves.

Steps to make a Redstone door in Minecraft:

First, create two pillars that are two blocks tall with a gap of one block in between. Then, place a button on one of the pillars.

Button On A Pillar — If you want to make a double-door setup, you need to leave a gap of two blocks here.

Preferably, this button should be on the outer side of your Minecraft house. Place the iron door between the two pillars.

After that, go to the other side of the door and place a pressure plate next to the empty gap between the pillars.

With this contraption, you can open the door to your base by pressing the button. The pressure plate is for triggering the door when you walk out.

2. How to make a hidden Piston Redstone Door

These piston-based secret Redstone doors look like a regular wall but open like a secret gateway. Here’s how to make one:

Preparation

6 Sticky pistons
Building blocks (any but the same type)
2 Pressure Plates (any)
4 Redstone Torches
10 pieces of Redstone Dust

Steps to create a hidden redstone door:

First, create two pillars of sticky pistons with a gap of 4 blocks between them. The pistons on both of these towers should be facing each other.

Then, put a building block behind the middle sticky piston behind both pillars. After placing the block, put a piece of Redstone dust on top of the block.\

Next, create two towers of building blocks right in the middle of the sticky pistons. These blocks will act as your gateway.

Then, dig two rows in front of the solid blocks behind the sticky pistons. These rows should be three blocks deep and two blocks long.

Then, connect these rows by digging a new row one block away from the gateway. It should be only two blocks deep, making a U shape, as shown below.

Next, put Redstone dust in the newly dug row and cover it with solid blocks.

Then, put a Redstone torch on either side of the bottom of this new row. After that, place a piece of Redstone dust right next to it.

Leave the block next to the Redstone dust as it is and break the block that’s right above it. Then, place a Redstone torch in its place and another Redstone torch on top of the block above it. The second Redstone torch will be right behind the bottommost sticky piston. Do this step on both sides of the door.

Finally, to finish the setup, place two pressure plates right in front of the door, at a one-block gap. Then cover the Redstone holes with solid blocks.

Then, cover the entire structure with building blocks to make it blend with the world and walk up to the wall. And voila, the solid blocks in the middle will be pulled by sticky pistons to reveal the hidden passage.

3. How to make an automatic Redstone door with Sculk Sensor

With the introduction of Sculk blocks in Minecraft 1.19, players can now make wireless Redstone contraptions. You need the following items to construct an automatic Redstone door in Minecraft:

Preparations

A Sculk Sensor
One Iron Doors
One piece of Redstone Dust
Two Carpets

Steps to create an automatic redstone door:

Dig a two block long row that’s one block deep then place an iron door on one side of the row, as shown in the image below.

After that, place a sculk sensor inside the row on the side opposite the door. Then, place a piece of Redstone dust right in front of it and connect it to the door.

Finally, use the carpets to cover the Redstone dust and Sculk sensor. Now, whenever you walk to the door, it will automatically open to allow you to enter on either side.
