Usage

Barrier

A wooden trapdoor can be opened or closed by pressing the Use Item/Place Block control.

Redstone component

Wooden trapdoors can be controlled with redstone power. When activated, the wooden trapdoor immediately opens. When deactivated, it immediately closes.

An activated wooden trapdoor can still be closed by a player, and does not re-open until it receives a new activation signal (if a trapdoor has been closed "by hand", it still needs to be deactivated and then reactivated to open by redstone).

Wooden trapdoors can be opened and closed by players or a redstone signal. Wooden trapdoors are also affected by the wind burst of thrown wind charges, causing them to open if closed, or vice versa.

Fuel

Overworld wooden trapdoors can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.
