Installing Tall Doors in Building Entrances

Because tall doors stand three blocks tall rather than two, standard wall openings must be adjusted before placing them.

Preparing the Doorframe

1. Locate the entrance of your building or castle wall.

2. Clear out a space that is one block wide and exactly three blocks tall. For double doors, make the opening two blocks wide and three blocks tall.

3. Ensure the floor block where the door will rest is solid and level.

4. Check that the block directly above the third opening block is solid to frame the top of the doorway properly.

Placing the Door

1. Place the tall door into your hotbar and select it.

2. Stand facing the entrance from the side you want the door to swing relative to.

3. Aim your crosshair at the top face of the floor block at the base of the opening.

4. Right-click to place the door.

The tall door will fill all three vertical blocks immediately. If building a grand double entrance, place a second tall door beside the first one so their handles mirror each other.
