Minecraft Round Up - Let's mod a Redstone Door
In our Minecraft Mod Club, we are starting a brand new mod series called 'Redstone Contraptions'
In our Minercraft Mod Club, we are starting a brand new mod series called 'Redstone Contraptions'. This series will focus on fun and practical mods; we will be creating Minecraft friendly machines which use redstone to operate them.
In this mod, we are using redstone to create our very own automatic door. This door is operated by the player standing on the pressure plates - just like the ones you see in the supermarkets! This mod uses 4 different functions; one which creates the base, one which installs the pistons, one which adds the redstone and finally one that places the pressure plates.
All functions are called simultaneously through our chat command to create our automatic door. You can easily mod this code to make it your own - try swapping out the birch wood planks block for something fun and colourful like the terracotta blocks! Or you can make the door smaller or larger by adjusting all the coordinates so it can fit into any space.
This mod is a great addition to add to any of your custom buildings in your Minecraft World.
Send us a picture through the blue chat bubble to show off how you used this redstone door in your own Minecraft builds!
Until next time, happy building everyone!
About Minecraft Mod Worlds
Minecraft Mod Worlds gives every member their own world to change with real code, using Minecraft Education Edition. It is included in membership rather than sold separately, and it is usually where a child who thinks they are not interested in coding discovers otherwise.
It comes with the Game Dev Academy, which is self-paced: no fixed session time, and a STEM-certified mentor answering by text and video message during the week.

The blog is in two halves. Guides are the evergreen explainers written by the mentors who teach the clubs, covering the questions parents actually ask: what comes after Scratch, how to support a coding-mad child when you cannot code yourself, and what works for autistic and ADHD children.
Club news is the other half, and it is where posts like this one live: game jams, Minecraft builds and weekly roundups, written up by whoever ran the session. Neither is marketing. If you want to know what the work actually looks like before you sign up to anything, club news is the more honest read of the two.
