How to Craft Birch Trapdoor in Minecraft

Birch Trapdoor in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Floor hatches.

The recipe wants 6 Birch Planks, and a Crafting Table to run it on. Place them as six Birch Planks in a solid 2x3 block. Done once, that is 2 Birch Trapdoors. As fuel these are worth 300 ticks apiece: 43 of them clear a stack of 64.

Birch Trapdoor Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Birch Trapdoor is minecraft:birch_trapdoor. In commands the namespace may be left off, so birch_trapdoor works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p birch_trapdoor
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p birch_trapdoor 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve birch_trapdoor 1

Cheats have to be on for Birch Trapdoor to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
