Required Materials to make a Birch Door
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a birch door:
How to craft a Birch Door in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Birch Door
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a birch door, place 6 birch planks in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making a birch door, it is important that the birch planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 birch planks in the first row with the last box empty, 2 birch planks in the second row with the last box empty, and 2 birch planks in the third row with the last box empty. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a birch door.
Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the birch doors will appear in the box to the right.
3. Move the Birch Door to Inventory
Once you have crafted birch doors, you need to move the new items to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made a birch door in Minecraft!
