Unlike wooden doors, iron doors have a unique mechanism and operate only with Redstone pulse. Let’s look at the details of crafting and using an iron door in Minecraft.
How to Craft Iron Doors in Minecraft?
In short, you need six iron ingots and use a crafting table to make iron doors. If you do not have any iron ingots, you can explore caves, mine raw iron, and then smelt using a furnace. Each raw iron gives you one iron ingot. The process will yield three iron doors similar to crafting the wooden doors. Furthermore, you can stack iron doors, and each stack can hold up to 64 doors.
How to Use Iron Doors in Minecraft?
You can place the iron doors just like any wooden door. However, you will need a Redstone component like a button or a pressure plate to open it.
Using a Button to Open the Iron Door
Buttons are an easy way to access the iron doors as it uses minimum resources to craft.
Using a Redstone Circuit to Open the Iron Door
Using Redstone Circuits is also a great way to open your door from a distance. You can try this method to use the lever, button, or pressure plate and open multiple iron doors simultaneously. Let’s look at how to open two doors simultaneously using one button for an easier demonstration.
