Description

Dark Oak Trapdoor crafts from six Dark Oak Planks arranged in two rows of three, and one craft yields two trapdoors. Dark Oak Trapdoor also generates in shipwrecks. Any tool can mine Dark Oak Trapdoor, an axe is the fastest, and hardness and blast resistance are both 3. Dark Oak Trapdoor exists in Java Edition since 1.13 and in Bedrock Edition since 1.4.0, and one stack holds 64. In a Furnace, Dark Oak Trapdoor burns as fuel and smelts 1.5 items per block.

Dark Oak Trapdoor opens and closes with a right-click or a redstone signal, and every change of state takes one game tick (1/20 of a second). A trapdoor placed on the top half of a block swings open downward, while one placed on the bottom half swings open upward. Dark Oak Trapdoor is 3/16 of a block thick in Java Edition. A closed Dark Oak Trapdoor works as a solid surface, so a Lantern sits on top of one in the top half of a block or hangs below one in the bottom half.

Guide

How to craft and use Dark Oak Trapdoor in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the trapdoors

    Place six Dark Oak Planks in the crafting grid as two rows of three to get two Dark Oak Trapdoors.

  2. 2

    Place on a block

    Right-click a block with Dark Oak Trapdoor in hand, and the spot you choose decides whether Dark Oak Trapdoor takes the top or the bottom half of the block.

  3. 3

    Open and close

    Right-click Dark Oak Trapdoor to open or close the hatch, or place an active Redstone Torch next to the hatch to open the hatch by signal.

  4. 4

    Climb through

    In Java Edition, an open Dark Oak Trapdoor directly above a Ladder on the same side of the wall works as part of the ladder, so players climb straight through the hatch.

Hidden tunnel

Closing Dark Oak Trapdoor one block above the ground while the player stands beneath the hatch makes the player crawl, which opens access to small secret tunnels.
