What you’ll build
Make a door that opens like magic. You'll swap a house door for an iron one, find out it won't open by hand, then add pressure plates outside and inside. Walk in and out and watch it open and close all by itself.
Finish line: Your iron door opens when you step on a plate, and you can get both in and out.
Bonus challenge: Try a double door: do both sides open? If not, work out where to add plates so they do.
You’ll need
- Iron door
- Pressure plates
You choose
- Which house gets the door
- Pressure plate type (stone, wood, gold…)
- One door or a double door
Stuck?
- Iron doors won't open with a tap. They need power, so put the plate on the block right in front.
- Trapped inside? Add a second plate on the inside of the door too.
- Doors need two free blocks of space. Clear anything above the doorway first.
