An iron trapdoor is a variant of the trapdoor that can be only opened using redstone mechanisms.

Obtaining

Breaking

Iron trapdoors require a pickaxe to drop as items. Trapdoors remain in place even if their attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed.

Usage

Properties

Iron trapdoors can only be toggled by a redstone signal.

Player or Wind Charge blast cannot toggle iron trapdoors.

Barrier

Opening and closing an iron trapdoor requires redstone to do it. When a trapdoor opens or closes, it immediately changes its orientation without affecting anything in the space it "passes through".

Redstone component

Iron trapdoors can be controlled with redstone power. An iron trapdoor is a redstone mechanism and can be activated by weakly powering any cardinally adjacent block.

When activated, the iron trapdoor immediately opens. When deactivated, it immediately closes.
