Hello, fellow Minecrafters! In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to make a redstone door in Minecraft. A redstone door is a type of door that can be opened and closed by using a redstone signal. This can be useful for creating secret entrances, traps, or just adding some flair to your base.
To make a redstone door, you will need the following materials:
- 6 sticky pistons
- 18 redstone dust
- 6 redstone torches
- 4 pressure plates
- 6 blocks of your choice (for the door)
- Some building blocks (for the frame)
Here are the steps to follow:
- First, make two pillars of sticky pistons with a gap of 4 blocks, and the pistons should be facing each other.
- Place a block behind the middle sticky piston, and put redstone dust on top.
- Next, create two towers of building blocks right in the middle of the sticky pistons.
- Then, dig two rows in front of the solid blocks behind the sticky pistons. These rows should be three blocks deep and two blocks long.
- Then, connect these rows by digging a new row one block away from the gateway. It should be only two blocks deep, making a U shape.
- Then, put a Redstone torch on either side of the bottom of this new row. After that, place a piece of Redstone dust right next to it.
- Then, put a Redstone torch on either side of the bottom of this new row. After that, place a piece of Redstone dust right next to it.
- Leave the block next to the Redstone dust as it is and break the block that’s right above it. Then, place a Redstone torch in its place and another Redstone torch on top of the block above it. The second Redstone torch will be right behind the bottommost sticky piston. Do this step on both sides of the door.
- Then, connect the redstone dust to the other side, so that when you can activate the pressure plate from both sides!
- Finally, to finish the setup, place two pressure plates right in front of the door, at a one-block gap. Then cover the Redstone holes with solid blocks.
- Then, cover the entire structure with building blocks to make it blend with the world and walk up to the wall. And voila, the solid blocks in the middle will be pulled by sticky pistons to reveal the hidden passage.
You have now completed your redstone door! To test it out, step on one of the pressure plates and watch as the door opens. Step off and watch as it closes. You can also use other types of switches, such as buttons or levers, instead of pressure plates.
