Sliding Doors FAQ

Craft a basic sliding door using four stripped logs and one iron block in a crafting table. Once you have the basic door, place it in a Stonecutter to unlock all the different style and wood type variations.

Make sure there's an empty block directly adjacent to the door where it can slide into—the door needs space to move sideways. If the adjacent block is solid, the door won't have room to open.

Yes, you can craft sliding doors using all 11 types of wood found in the game. Use the Stonecutter to select both your preferred style and wood type combination.

Sliding doors move sideways into the adjacent block instead of swinging open on a hinge, and they're placed in the center of the doorway for a cleaner look rather than on the edge. This makes them ideal for modern builds and tight spaces.

Place two sliding doors side by side in your doorway frame, making sure each has an empty block on its outer side to slide into. When you open them, both doors will slide outward simultaneously to create a grand entrance.

Yes, sliding doors work great as room dividers and walls. Place them horizontally across a space with empty blocks on either side, and they'll slide open to separate or connect rooms as needed.

Sliding doors respond to redstone signals just like regular doors do, so you can automate them with redstone contraptions, buttons, levers, and pressure plates.

The door will be placed but won't open if there's a solid block in the space where it needs to slide. You'll need to clear the adjacent block or reposition the door.

The mod includes over 20 different door styles to choose from in the Stonecutter, giving you plenty of options to match your build aesthetic.

You only need one iron block to craft the initial basic sliding door; after that, the Stonecutter lets you change styles and wood types without needing additional materials.
