Where Can Mangrove Wooden Trapdoors Be Found?

Mangrove Wooden Trapdoors do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need six Mangrove Planks. In the crafting table, arrange the planks in two horizontal rows, leaving the bottom row empty. This recipe produces two Mangrove Trapdoors.

Mangrove Planks, the primary material for crafting the trapdoor, are created by processing Mangrove Logs. These logs are harvested from mangrove trees, which grow exclusively in the Mangrove Swamp biome. This biome, introduced in the Wild Update, features lush mangrove roots, mud blocks, and waterlogged terrain. For more information about obtaining and using Mangrove Planks, refer to the Mangrove Planks article.
