Description
The acacia door is a full sized wooden door with a distinct acacia wood look that matches acacia planks. It is placed in a two block tall opening to allow players and mobs to pass through. The door has a warm orange brown tone that is popular for savanna style houses and other builds that need a natural warm wood feel. It can be opened and closed by hand by right clicking or through redstone mechanisms when powered. In villages in acacia areas you will often see doors that follow the local wood style and the acacia door fits that role perfectly. It acts as both a functional passage and a piece of decoration so builders use it to keep a consistent colour palette across floors walls and furniture. The door blocks light and movement when closed so it is useful for keeping mobs out of a base at night. It can be destroyed with an axe faster than by hand and as a wooden item it can burn if exposed to fire or lava. The door also reacts to villagers and mobs when they need to pathfind through an area and it will open for villagers if appropriate. In redstone builds you can wire the door to buttons levers pressure plates or more complex mechanisms to automate entry and exit. It works in both survival and creative and is a friendly building block for new players who want shelter without complicated crafting. The acacia door is both practical and aesthetic so it is a common sight in many player created homes.
What is Acacia Door?
The acacia door is a wooden door that fits into a two block high doorway and provides a way to enter or exit buildings. It is made from acacia wood so it has a unique colour compared to doors made from other woods. The door can be opened by clicking it or by using redstone devices like buttons and pressure plates. It is solid when closed so it blocks mobs and light and can be used to secure a house. As with other wooden doors it can burn so keep it away from open flames. It is a basic and essential building item for homes and structures and works well in both practical and decorative roles.
Where to find Acacia Door
The acacia door is not found as a loose item in the wild. You will find acacia trees and acacia wood materials in savanna type biomes. Players craft the door from planks that come from acacia logs. In savanna villages the local houses will often use acacia wood for building materials so you may find doors in village buildings. Otherwise doors are crafted by players in their home base or in creative mode from the building menu. The wood is common in its biomes so collecting the parts to make doors is straightforward when you explore those areas.
How to get Acacia Door
To make an acacia door collect acacia logs from acacia trees in savanna biomes. Turn the logs into acacia planks in your crafting grid. The recipe for a door uses six planks arranged in two columns that fill three rows in the crafting table. This yields three doors per craft. In creative mode you can simply pick the acacia door from the inventory. Trading with villagers or finding doors in savanna village buildings are alternative ways to obtain the door in survival play.
