Overview
Birch Door is one of the 14 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Door is the same shape in a different material.
Birch Door counts as a functional block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Birch Door is made at a crafting table. Hardness 3 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The recipe calls for Birch Planks. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the birch set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 3 puts Birch Door at 4.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.5 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.3 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 4.5 s | 4.5 s | 4.5 s |
| Wooden | 2.3 s | 0.4 s | 0.2 s |
| Stone | 1.2 s | 0.35 s | 0.15 s |
| Iron | 0.75 s | 0.3 s | 0.15 s |
| Diamond | 0.6 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Netherite | 0.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Golden | 0.4 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
Properties
With 3 blast resistance Birch Door usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. The fastest tool for it is an axe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
