Wooden Door
Wooden Doors are a two-high block used for securing entrances and dividing rooms, and can be crafted or found in Villages or Strongholds. It is opened or closed by simply right-clicking on the door. They can only be placed on top of a solid block. When activated, they will open by flipping around the hinge. Doors let light through, but will prevent entities such as mobs from passing through when closed, with the exception of Villagers, which will open them to pass through and close the door behind them, and Zombie Villagers, which will break the door into an item after a few seconds. Like all other wooden objects, they can be broken by the use of an Axe, and will drop as a whole block.

Door Orientation
If two doors are placed adjacent to each other, they will orient with their handles inward, creating a double door.
Doors will automatically flip when there is a wall on only the handle side of the door, so that the hinges are on the correct side. However, their default position has the hinges on the left side.
A door does not take up the space of a whole block, so the door is positioned in a certain part of the block space. There is a side on the border of the block, and a side that is about four fifths of a block in. When placing a door, the border side will face you, so if you want to be able to hit mobs through an entrance, place the door from outside, rather than inside. Doors will always open toward the other side of the block space they occupy, so as not to enter a different block's area.
Keep In Mind
- Trapdoors work identically to Wooden Doors, but can secure a single vertical opening.
- Iron Doors are a more blast-resistant variant that requires Redstone power to open.
