Description
A crimson trapdoor is a wooden style hatch crafted from crimson planks that gives players a way to open and close floor or wall openings while matching the nether wood look. Trapdoors are useful for creating entrances to basements secret rooms and for simple decorative covers over holes. The crimson trapdoor blends into crimson themed builds and provides a low profile solution for doors that open vertically or horizontally depending on placement. It is a functional redstone friendly block that can be toggled by a lever button or pressure plate and can be part of larger automatic systems. The trapdoor is durable enough for normal use and is harvested using an axe which returns the block for relocation or reuse. For builders who like clean design the trapdoor is helpful for making neat floors that can be opened for access without disrupting visual flow. The trapdoor also works well in furniture and decorative scenes as table tops hatches and concealed storage lids where a moving cover is desirable. Because it can be controlled by redstone the trapdoor is often combined with simple circuits to create timed openings or hidden entryways in both survival and creative builds. Its small footprint makes it a flexible choice for both tight builds and for grand designs where many moving parts are required.
