Overview
Iron 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.
Iron Door is a functional block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Iron Door is made at a crafting table. Expect to wait: its hardness of 5 is well above average.
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 Iron Ingot. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 5, Iron Door takes 7.5 seconds to punch out and 0.85 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron manages 1.3 seconds and diamond 0.95, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.4 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 7.5 s | 7.5 s | 7.5 s |
| Wooden | 3.8 s | 0.65 s | 0.3 s |
| Stone | 1.9 s | 0.55 s | 0.25 s |
| Iron | 1.3 s | 0.5 s | 0.25 s |
| Diamond | 0.95 s | 0.45 s | 0.25 s |
| Netherite | 0.85 s | 0.4 s | 0.25 s |
| Golden | 0.65 s | 0.35 s | 0.2 s |
Properties
With 5 blast resistance Iron 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 a pickaxe; 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.
