2. Add Items to make a Cherry Door

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a cherry door, place 6 cherry planks in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a cherry door, it is important that the cherry planks are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. There should be 2 cherry planks in the first row with the last box empty, 2 cherry planks in the second row with the last box empty, and 2 cherry planks in the third row with the last box empty. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a cherry door.
