Trapdoors are a door in the floor, useful for keeping things out of your structures, keeping floors even and quick entrance and exit. Trapdoors fill one block space.

Steps

Finding the Materials

  1. Find 6 wooden planks. Wooden planks are made by chopping down a tree and crafting the logs into planks.

Crafting the trapdoor

  1. Place the 6 wooden planks into the crafting table. Fill the grid as follows:
    • Place 3 wooden planks across the center 3 slots
    • Place 3 wooden planks across the bottom 3 slots (or across the top 3 slots).
  2. Transfer the 2 resulting trapdoors to your inventory. Shift click or drag the trapdoors to your inventory.

Using Trapdoors

  1. Use trapdoors in your structures. Trapdoors can do the following:
    • Prevent falls.
    • Prevent mob access to an area.
    • Stop water, snowfall, rain or lava from flowing into an area.
    • Act as an opening for a countertop, such as a bar.
    • It still lets light come through and does not block redstone signals.
  2. To place a trapdoor, put on the side of a solid block. This is the only way to place a trapdoor. Then you can build around it with other blocks.
  3. Open a trapdoor. Right click on it. It will flip back onto the block it is attached to.

Tips

  • If you remove the block the trapdoor is attached to, this will destroy the trapdoor.
  • Trapdoor bridges are good over a lava moat to make a good defense around your castle.
  • A trapdoor is also known as a hatch.
  • There are many different ways to use trapdoors, as an example, trapdoors can be used as tables.
