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