Description

Dark Oak Door is a wooden door that players craft from 6 Dark Oak Planks arranged in a 2×3 pattern on a Crafting Table, and each craft yields 3 doors. Dark Oak Door stacks to 64, counts as a renewable block (it can be crafted again and again from planks), and was added in Java Edition 1.8 and Bedrock Edition 0.13.0. Light passes through Dark Oak Door, as it does through every wooden door.

Dark Oak Door has hardness 3 and blast resistance 3. Dark Oak Door can be mined by hand or with any tool, and an axe breaks it fastest, after which the door drops itself. Players, villagers, piglins, and copper golems open Dark Oak Door by hand, as do vindicators in Java Edition, while a redstone signal opens and closes it automatically, and both the top and bottom halves respond to the signal.

Guide

How to craft and use a Dark Oak Door in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Gather 6 Dark Oak Planks

    Dark Oak Door needs 6 Dark Oak Planks per craft, and planks of any other wood type produce a different door.

  2. 2

    Craft the doors

    A Crafting Table accepts the recipe: 6 Dark Oak Planks fill a 2×3 area, and the output slot shows 3 Dark Oak Doors.

  3. 3

    Place the door

    Dark Oak Door must stand on a full solid block face. The bottom half appears where the crosshair points, and the top half extends one block above.

  4. 4

    Open and close it

    The Use Item/Place Block control toggles Dark Oak Door. A redstone signal sent to a block directly beside the door opens it without a player.

  5. 5

    Break and reuse it

    An axe breaks Dark Oak Door fastest, and the door drops itself, so it can be placed again somewhere else.

Sideways placement

A Dark Oak Door placed sideways allows passage while closed and blocks passage while open. Zombies and vindicators attempt to break only a closed door, even when the sideways placement lets players pass through that closed door.
