Overview
Pale Oak Trapdoor 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 Trapdoor is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Pale Oak Trapdoor is a functional block. Pale Oak Trapdoor has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 3 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Pale Oak Planks. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the pale oak set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 3, Pale Oak Trapdoor takes 4.5 seconds to punch out and 0.5 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
An iron tool takes 0.75 seconds and a diamond one 0.6, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.3 times the unenchanted rate.
| 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 Pale Oak Trapdoor usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. The block is tagged for axes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
