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.
