  • Redstone dust14
  • Redstone repeaters2
  • Lever1
  • Stone bricks~40

Steps

  1. Dig the frame

    Clear a space 6 wide, 4 high and 3 deep behind the wall.

  2. Place the side pistons

    Two sticky pistons on each side, facing in, with the door blocks on their faces.

  3. Add the top and bottom pistons

    These pull the inner blocks up and down.

  4. Wire the lever

    Set both repeaters to 2 ticks so the outer pistons fire after the inner ones.

Bedrock note

Bedrock pistons can’t push blocks with block entities, so keep chests and signs away from the door.
