Intro: Minecraft 3x3 Door - NO PISTONS!!!!!

What you'll need:

  • 18 command blocks
  • 9 blocks of your choice (for the door)
  • Redstone Dust
  • 1 lever or button

STEP 1: Create the Door

Place the 9 blocks of your choice to make a 3x3 square.

STEP 2: Place the On/Off Switch/Button

Place your switch/button two blocks away from the door to the left or right. I, for example, put mine on the left.

STEP 3: Place the Command Blocks & Redstone

Look at the picture above. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PLACE THE COMMAND BLOCKS, OR GATES, AND REDSTONE AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE, however. If you are experienced with redstone then you might be able to edit the layout, but I do not recommend doing so.

STEP 4: Code the Command Blocks

NOTICE: THIS IS THE HARDEST PART!

Start by going into every command block and typing "setblock".

Next, find the coordinates for every block of the wall and enter the coordinates into Section A & B.

Don't understand what I mean? Here's an example: If the bottom left block of the wall's coordinates were "X: 200 Y: 40 Z: 200" then I'd enter that into one command block in each section, so that the command in the two command blocks looks like this: "setblock 200 40 200".


Now, enter the id of the block of the wall into Section B.

For example, if my entire wall was going to be iron blocks then I'd put "42" or "minecraft:iron_block" into all of the command blocks in Section B. Then it should look something like this: "setblock 200 40 200 minecraft:iron_block"

Finally, in Section A do the same thing that I said in the example, but put "0" or "minecraft:air" instead of the block the wall is made out of.

STEP 5: Check It!

Now, check that what you've made looks nearly exactly like the picture above.

STEP 6: Test It Out! (Video)

Now you've successfully made a silent, fast, reliable, and new 3x3 Command Block door! Enjoy!

You could have used a structure block which means you could potentially use two blocks a structure block with only air saved on it (to erase the door) and another one with a door saved on it.On structure blocks there are settings to change how it is built so maybe it would build by block or by layer

Hmmm that's a cool design, you'll have to show us if you come up with any other applications for this design.

setblock has one hundreds of uses. I've used it to build a bridge thats activated by a switch, or my personal favorite was to use a timer circuit to build a moving bridge :)

Cool! I've never thought of using the /setblock command to create a moving effect. I'll have to try that out.

wait you guys used setblock, oh i just used the fill command

I've started on an instructable for making a moving platform bridge with "/setblock" So i'll let you know when its done.

Got destracted mid make, by someone loging on to my build server and starting destroying things :(

Well, you're in luck. I have found out another way to make this kind of door. Instead of using the /setblock command you can use some other command, which I forgot, that's basically like copy & paste.

I'll have to make another Instructable showing how to make it.

If it is water do you put water_buck_?

wbarnes24 4 years ago

If I’m correct it should just be water but if that doesn’t work then try water_block

Do you HAVE to put the command blocks right next to the button? I made a fence and I dont want it to look super bulky since it is also in a tighter space
