What version does the mangrove trapdoor come from?

Mangrove trapdoors were added in Minecraft 1.19 (the Wild Update). They're available in all versions from 1.19 through 1.20 and beyond.

Can I use other wood planks instead of mangrove planks?

No, you need mangrove planks specifically. Each wood type (oak, birch, spruce, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, etc.) has its own trapdoor recipe.

How many trapdoors does one recipe make?

One recipe makes 2 mangrove trapdoors from 6 mangrove planks. That's a pretty efficient recipe compared to some other wood items.

Can I use mangrove trapdoors with redstone?

Yes. Mangrove trapdoors work just like regular trapdoors. You can power them with redstone signals and use them in redstone contraptions.

Do mangrove trapdoors look different from other trapdoors?

They have the darker wood texture of mangrove wood, which gives them a tropical look. But functionally they work the same as any other trapdoor.

How to Craft Mangrove Trapdoors in Minecraft 1.19+

Crafting Mangrove Trapdoors in Minecraft

The mangrove trapdoor was added to Minecraft in the Wild Update (1.19). It’s a wood-based block that works just like other trapdoors but has that darker, tropical wood vibe from the mangrove trees. You can use it for building, redstone contraptions, or just about anything else you’d use a normal trapdoor for.

What You Need

To make mangrove trapdoors, you only need one material:

6 Mangrove Planks

This recipe makes 2 trapdoors at a time, so you get a decent return on your planks.

The Crafting Recipe

Open your crafting table to get the 3×3 grid. Place 6 mangrove planks in this pattern:

Row 1: 3 mangrove planks
Row 2: 3 mangrove planks
Row 3: Empty

Put the planks in the top two rows, leaving the bottom row blank. When you do this right, you’ll get 2 mangrove trapdoors in the output slot. Move them to your inventory and you’re done.
