Make Trapdoors from Planks Using Only the Stonecutter

Trapdoor Crafting Advantage

Trapdoors normally require a specific arrangement on the crafting table. The stonecutter streamlines this by letting you produce trapdoors directly from planks with no waste.

How to Craft Trapdoors

1. Open your stonecutter by right-clicking it

2. Insert wooden planks into the left slot

3. Scroll through the middle recipe list to find trapdoor options

4. Select the trapdoor variant you want (matches your plank type)

5. Collect the trapdoor from the output slot on the right

6. Repeat as needed—your planks remain in the input slot

Building Applications

Use this method when creating:

• Ventilation shafts and air gaps in builds
• Decorative floor patterns
• Hidden passages and secret doors
• Roofing details on fantasy or modern structures

Since you can craft one trapdoor at a time, you'll never overproduce or run short mid-project.
