Ever wondered how to keep those pesky monsters at bay while you’re deep into your Minecraft creativity? One cool way to do it is by building an automatic door. But, how exactly do you create this nifty contraption in Minecraft?
Let’s dive into the simple steps needed to make an automatic door in the vast world of Minecraft. It’s easier than you might think, and it adds a touch of modern convenience to any structure you build!
Simple Steps for Building an Automatic Door
To start, you’ll need some basic materials: Redstone, Redstone torches, pressure plates, and any block of your choice to make the door. Don’t worry; all these items are easy to find within the game.
First, place the blocks in a door frame shape and add the door in the middle. Then, lay down Redstone torches on either side of the door, on the inside, connected with Redstone wiring. Place pressure plates in front of the door. When you or any entity step on these plates, the circuit completes, and the door opens automatically. Stepping off the plates breaks the circuit, and the door closes. Voila! An automatic door.
