The Iron Door is a two-tile-tall door that can only be opened or closed with a redstone signal, since players cannot toggle it by hand. This makes it far more secure than wooden doors, which zombies can batter down.

FAQ

Can I open an iron door by right-clicking it?

No. Iron doors ignore direct interaction and can only be toggled by a redstone signal from a lever, button, or other redstone component.

Can zombies break through an iron door?

No. Unlike wooden doors, zombies cannot batter down iron doors, making them a reliable defense against mob raids.

What happens if a piston tries to move an iron door?

The door is destroyed instead of being pushed; pistons cannot relocate iron doors.

How many iron ingots does one Iron Door cost?

Six iron ingots craft three doors at once, so each door effectively costs two ingots.
