Description
A mangrove trapdoor is a wooden hatch made from mangrove planks used to close or open floor and ceiling openings. It swings up and down and is used as a door for small openings, for secret entrances and for decorative shutters on windows. The mangrove trapdoor matches the darker wood palette and is ideal for use on docks, in boats and in compact spaces where a full door would not fit. Trapdoors are handy in redstone contraptions because they can be opened with a redstone signal from buttons, levers and pressure plates which makes them useful for secret doors and for automated hatch systems. In survival play trapdoors are simple to craft and inexpensive which makes them popular for covering wells, hidden storage and access points under floors. They can be placed on ceilings to create drop openings for ladders and for quick access to basements. Because they are wooden they can burn if placed near fire sources and caution is recommended in interior designs that use open flames. Trapdoors also serve as decorative planks when placed flush and can be used as table tops and shutters to add rustic detail in mangrove themed interiors. They are small, functional and a clever way to save space while keeping access control in a base.
