How to Make Crimson Door in Minecraft
Crimson Door
Crimson Door is a two-block-tall wooden door crafted from Crimson Planks that works as a switchable barrier for mobs and players.
Description
Crimson Door occupies two block spaces and needs a full solid block face beneath it, otherwise placement fails. Players, villagers, and piglins can open Crimson Door by hand, and a redstone signal opens and closes it automatically. Built into a wall, Crimson Door blocks mob and player movement while closed.

Guide
How to craft and place a Crimson Door in Minecraft
-
1
Gather Crimson Planks
Crimson Door needs six Crimson Planks, one for each cell of a 2x3 area on the crafting grid.
-
2
Craft the doors
A Crafting Table with Crimson Planks in both columns of all three rows produces three Crimson Doors per craft.
-
3
Place the door
Crimson Door goes on the top face of a full solid block and extends one block upward, and sits on the side of the block space closest to the player.
-
4
Open and close
A press of the Use Item control toggles Crimson Door, and redstone power on any adjacent block opens it automatically.
-
5
Make a double door
A second Crimson Door placed beside the first with the handles touching forms a double door, with the hinges on opposite sides.
In Java Edition, a Crimson Door placed underwater creates a breathable pocket, because doors cannot be waterlogged there.
