Mangrove Door

What is a Mangrove Door?

The Mangrove Door is a wooden door block in Minecraft, introduced in the 1.19 Wild Update. Crafted from mangrove planks, it features a deep reddish-brown color and a unique design with a circular cutout in the center, resembling a porthole. This distinct appearance makes it a standout choice for tropical, rustic, or aquatic-themed builds. Functionally, the Mangrove Door serves as a barrier that players, mobs, or redstone mechanisms can open and close, providing both security and style to structures.

Where Can Mangrove Doors Be Found?

Mangrove Doors do not generate naturally in Minecraft and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need six Mangrove Planks, which are made from Mangrove Logs. These logs are harvested from mangrove trees found in the Mangrove Swamp biome. Introduced in the 1.19 Wild Update, this biome features sprawling mangrove trees with prop roots, waterlogged terrain, and an abundance of mud blocks.

Players can efficiently collect Mangrove Logs using an axe. Once the logs are converted into planks, six Mangrove Planks arranged in two vertical columns in a crafting table yield three Mangrove Doors. For additional details about Mangrove Planks, refer to the Mangrove Planks article.

What Can Players Do with a Mangrove Door?

The Mangrove Door serves both functional and decorative purposes. Functionally, it acts as a secure entryway that can be operated manually or automated with redstone components such as pressure plates, levers, and buttons. This makes it suitable for everything from simple houses to complex redstone builds.

Decoratively, the Mangrove Door’s warm reddish-brown tone and circular window make it a striking addition to builds inspired by tropical or swamp environments. It pairs seamlessly with other mangrove wood blocks, such as Mangrove Fences and Mangrove Stairs. Its unique design also complements nautical or seafaring themes, adding an element of authenticity to ships, docks, or coastal structures.
