A trapdoor is a solid, transparent block that tin can be used as an openable 1x1 bulwark.

Obtaining [ ]

Breaking [ ]

Wooden trapdoors can exist mined with any tool, but an axe is the fastest. Atomic number 26 trapdoors require a pickaxe to drop equally items. Trapdoors remain in identify if their zipper block is moved, removed, or destroyed.

Default	four.5	25
Wooden	two.25	3.75
Stone	1.xv	1.ix
Iron	0.75	ane.25

↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no condition effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

Natural generation [ ]

About types of trapdoors can be establish in shipwrecks. Specifically:

Oak trapdoors generate as in villages, igloos, and shipwrecks.
Bandbox trapdoors generate in taiga villages and shipwrecks.
Birch trapdoors generate in shipwrecks.
Jungle trapdoors generate in desert villages (around composters) and shipwrecks.
Dark oak trapdoors generate in shipwrecks.
Acacia trapdoors generate in shipwrecks in Boulder Edition.
Iron trapdoors generate in aboriginal cities.

Usage [ ]

Backdrop [ ]

Wooden trapdoors can be opened and closed by players or redstone pulse. Iron trapdoors can exist opened only past redstone pulse.

To identify a trapdoor, utilise a trapdoor item while pointing at the block it should be attached to. Once it is placed, the attachment block tin be removed without breaking the trapdoor.

When placed, a trapdoor either occupies the top or bottom part of a block, depending on where the player placed the trapdoor. If a trapdoor is placed on the height function of a block, information technology opens downward. If placed on the bottom part of a cake, it opens upward.

A trapdoor's "hinge" is located on the cake fastened to it.

Trapdoors can be moved by pistons. Trapdoors block flowing water and lava. Waterlogged trapdoors release water from all sides apart from the top‌^{[ Boulder Edition just ]} or all sides apart from the side that is blocked past the trapdoor itself (and the summit)‌^{[ Java Edition only ]} Lava can create fire in air blocks next to wooden trapdoors as if they were flammable, but the trapdoors do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either).

Unmarried trapdoors are climbable if they are opened and placed directly above a ladder against a wall. This means if an opened trapdoor is placed in the middle of two ladders, players tin climb through it directly. Nevertheless, if there is more than ane trapdoor between two ladders, players cannot climb through (they are stopped at the meridian of the first trapdoor).

Trapdoors can act as a solid block when in the airtight position and thus certain items tin be placed above or below information technology. When trapdoors are opened, they human action like a non-solid block resulting as a non-placeable expanse. Lanterns, for instance, can be placed on top and below the closed trapdoor‌^{[ Java Edition only ]}. In Bedrock Edition, lanterns tin can't exist placed either under or on top of trapdoors. This could potentially be known as a issues or the functionality of placing lanterns nether trapdoors aren't available as part of the game all the same. The same goes for other decorative blocks (flowerpots, torches, and etc.).

The sound of opening and closing of a trapdoor tin can exist heard upward to sixteen blocks away, similar most mob sounds.

Trapdoors can exist opened or airtight with a thespian or mob inside.^[1]

In Java Edition, closing a trapdoor one block above the ground while continuing under it causes the histrion to crawl, and continue crawling until reaching a block with two empty spaces above, at which fourth dimension the player stands automatically. This tin exist used to enter small secret tunnels or otherwise inaccessible terrain. This functionality is not available In Bedrock Edition.

Barrier [ ]

A trapdoor tin exist used as a switchable barrier to entity motion. Although primarily used to cake movement past mobs and players, a trapdoor tin can also exist used to command the movement of boats (for example, a top trapdoor placed in a two-wide water flow stops a boat when closed (extended out into the h2o flow), but allow it to move again when open), items and minecarts (a trapdoor can stop a falling item or minecart, so allow it to drop over again when the trapdoor opens), etc.

Trapdoors are 0.1875 (³⁄₁₆) blocks thick. The rest of a trapdoor's space can be moved through freely and provides a breathable infinite if placed underwater and not waterlogged.

To open or close a wooden trapdoor, use the Use Item/Place Block control. When a trapdoor opens or closes, it immediately changes its orientation without affecting anything in the space it "passes through". Moving trapdoors don't push entities the fashion that pistons practise.

Atomic number 26 trapdoors tin be opened merely with redstone ability (a button, a redstone circuit, etc.).

Mobs consider all trapdoors airtight, resulting in pathfinding mobs falling through open trapdoors.^[ii] A role player can take advantage of this behavior to construct mob traps.

Redstone component [ ]

Both wooden and iron trapdoors tin can exist controlled with redstone power.

A trapdoor is a redstone mechanism and tin can exist activated past:

an adjacent active power component, including to a higher place or below: for example, a redstone torch, a block of redstone, a daylight sensor, etc.
an adjacent powered block (for instance, a block with an agile redstone torch under it), including higher up or beneath
a powered redstone comparator or redstone repeater facing the trapdoor
powered redstone dust configured to point at the trapdoor or a directionless "dot" next to it; a trapdoor is non activated by adjacent powered redstone grit that is configured to signal in another direction.

When activated, a trapdoor immediately rotates around its swivel side to its open state. When deactivated, a trapdoor immediately returns to its closed land. Each change of state takes 1 game tick.

An activated wooden trapdoor tin still be closed by a player, and does not re-open until it receives a new activation signal (if a trapdoor has been airtight "by hand", it still needs to be deactivated and so reactivated to open by redstone).

Fuel [ ]

Wooden trapdoors can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting one.5 items per block.

Note Blocks [ ]

Wooden trapdoors can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.
