This wikiHow teaches you how to make a door that opens when you step on the pressure plate in Minecraft Creative mode. You can do this on the computer, mobile and console versions of the Minecraft game.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Getting Ready
Step 1. Start the game in Creative mode
You can just make automatic piston doors in Survival mode. However, you will have to spend a very long time looking for the required materials and assembling the components, unless you already have one.
Step 2. Place the required components onto the equipment bar (equip bar)
Some of the materials needed to make an automatic piston door are:
- redstone
- Redstone Torch
- Cobblestone/ cobblestone (or solid blocks similar to wood)
- Sticky Piston (Sticky Pistons)
- Stone Pressure Plate
Step 3. Find a location to make the door
If you already have a house that you want to give a door to, then go to that place. If you don't already have one, find a flat spot. Once you've found a place where you want to build the door, start wiring.
Part 2 of 3: Placing the Cables
Step 1. Make a hole with dimensions of 2x2x3
This means that you have to drill a hole 2 blocks deep, 2 blocks long, and 3 blocks wide.
Step 2. Dig 2 cable channels
While facing the side 3 blocks wide, dig a corridor 2 blocks high and 2 blocks long, from the middle block, then remove the top block in front of you. Repeat this action on the other side of the hole.
Step 3. Place the redstone at the bottom of the hole
This step will produce a redstone square with dimensions of 2x3.
Step 4. Place a redstone torch at the end of each channel
Meaning the torches would be in the high blocks at the end of each corridor.
Step 5. Line up the redstone in the corridor
Place two redstones on the floor in each corridor to connect the redstone torches to the redstone on the floor of the pit.
Step 6. Place the cobblestone blocks on top of the two redstone torches
For this method to work, you may need to place one block to the side of the torch first, then attach the second block to it.
You can also use wood or other solid blocks
Step 7. Close the holes and drains
You should be able to place the block at ground level to cover the hole. Once the hole is covered and everything is level (except the block above the redstone torch), continue on your way to making the door.
Part 3 of 3: Making Doors
Step 1. Bring the sticky piston
Select the sticky piston on the gear bar.
Step 2. Place the sticky pistons in front of each high block
Face one of the blocks covering the redstone torch, then place the sticky piston in front of it. Repeat this process on the other tall blocks.
Step 3. Place the sticky piston on top of the two sticky pistons you have laid out
Face one of the sticky pistons, and select the top. Repeat this process on the other piston.
Step 4. Place the redstone on each tall block
This action will activate the sticky piston top.
Step 5. Place the door material on the front of each sticky piston
In all, you should place 4 solid blocks (eg cobblestones) in the center of the sticky piston frame.
Step 6. Place 2 pressure plates in front and back of the door
The pressure plate will be on the ground, directly in front and behind each column of door material.
Step 7. Test the door
Step on both pressure plates at the same time to make the door open, then walk through the door. You should be able to get through it without any problems.
