Description
The iron door is a sturdy metal door used to provide stronger protection than wooden doors. It looks solid and heavy and will not open by hand when a player simply right clicks it in survival mode; instead it requires a redstone signal, such as from a button, lever or pressure plate, to open. This behavior makes it useful for secure entrances, traps, and doors that should only open under certain conditions. Because it cannot be opened by pawns or villagers without redstone mechanisms it is often used to control access to restricted areas. Iron doors are commonly used in modern, industrial and fortified builds where the appearance of metal strengthens the style. They are also helpful in adventure maps when the designer wants to control player movement or create puzzles that require activating switches to progress.
