Talk:Tutorials/Secret door

While it might not be that concealed, there's another kind of lava-door which works both ways, so you can actually leave your house/secret room again. ;)

I'm unsure whether or not this is actually helpful when you're trying to build a secret door, so I let more experienced users decide. --Yatsufusa 22:09, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Could anyone recreate the lava door tutorial with default textures? Just so that it fits the general rules of the wiki. DreadLindwyrm 22:19, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

The video currently linked as example for a secret lava door is actually pretty bad. Among other things a player can actually see the other side of the door through the gap over the lava source block. Try to place the lava at least at the same level as the upper frame block of the door (which you should add). That's way better to conceal such kind of secret passages then putting signs around it, which just draw extra attention to the spot. --Yatsufusa 17:54, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I added a thing about piston hidden doors, feel free to improve or add links/ redstone chematics. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jippiedoe (Talk&#124;Contribs) Please sign your posts with

or u could use the lava wall one way hidden door, have a wall of lava then put a minecart behind it. just click 2 get in, then teleport through the lava and into the cart! simple! i didnt make it, i found it on the custom map arkieda temple

A good combination is a piston door with a nether gate where the pistons open up. Most people (if they find your home) will go straight for the portal. I tend to place a lava bucket on the linked nether gate so when they port they die. Every once in awhile I make a complicated player-killing trap but usually not xD 72.11.87.148 08:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Nobody seems to have pointed out the obvious 'patch up the entrance' one. I'll do that now. --Apple 20:16, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
