Dark Oak Trapdoor
minecraft:dark_oak_trapdoorThe Dark Oak Trapdoor is a hinged wooden barrier that can be opened and closed manually, with a lever or button, or via a redstone signal. It occupies the top or bottom half of a block space and can be oriented to seal a hatch or a vertical doorway.
Uses
- Hidden Entrances — Combined with a fence or wall block below, a trapdoor placed on the side of a block creates a passable but visually sealed 1x1 hole, a common technique for secret bases and iron farms.
- Redstone Doors — Wired to a lever, pressure plate, or redstone circuit, a trapdoor functions as a door substitute that blocks mobs and villagers while remaining pathable when open.
Found In
- Woodland Mansions — Dark oak trapdoors generate as decorative and secret-room elements throughout the mansion's dark-oak-themed rooms.
- Crafting Table — Crafted from 6 dark oak planks arranged in a 2x3 grid, yielding 2 trapdoors.
