Iron Door

YesItem form

The Iron Door is a block in Minecraft that players craft from iron ingots. It can be placed facing different directions, so it fits an entrance from whichever side it is needed.

A pickaxe is the tool for mining it, and when broken it drops itself, which lets players pick it up and set it down somewhere else.
