Minecraft Door Types:
Doors are craftable from various wood types (birch, spruce, oak, bamboo), with material not impacting durability or mob protection. Only zombies, husks, and vindicators can break them; others are deterred by a closed door. All doors require a double right-click to open and close.
Wooden Doors:

Superior fire resistance and mob protection; no mob can break through. Opens only via redstone mechanisms (e.g., levers).

Automatic Doors:
Pressure plates automate door opening. Stepping on the plate opens the door, but this affects both players and mobs—use cautiously outdoors.
