Where Can Spruce Wooden Trapdoors Be Found?

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

Spruce Planks, the primary crafting material, are made by processing Spruce Logs. These logs are harvested from spruce trees, which grow in biomes like taiga, snowy taiga, and giant tree taiga. For more information about obtaining and using Spruce Planks, refer to the Spruce Planks article.
