- "A door for the floor."
A trapdoor is an item created at a Woodwork Bench.
Appearance
Like a wooden door, a trapdoor will take on some characteristics of an adjacent block or back wall. Viewed at an angle, they appear to be hollow (possibly with a ladder inside) from below and have a brown, wood-like design on their top surface.
Crafting
It is created using one (1) wood and one (1) ladder.
Use
Trapdoors are construction blocks that allow a Blockhead to walk on top of it normally yet climb through it as if it were absent. They are thus most effective in creating crossing horizontal and vertical paths.
When a Blockhead passes through vertically, the trapdoor will open upward, exposing the gap. It doesn't matter which direction the Blockhead approaches from or travels to, the trapdoor always opens in the same direction. It closes automatically after the Blockhead passes.
A Blockhead may appear to pass through the side of a trapdoor under some circumstances.
If a trapdoor is immediately above or below a solid block, it may not function properly. This state may persist if the obstruction is cleared. Resolving the problem can be as simple as removing and replacing the trapdoor.
Although made from wood, trapdoors don't appear to burn and should drop as loose items instead.
