Building with it

A Dark Oak Door is the darkest wooden door, and it is the one most players use for a main entrance where iron would look industrial. Six planks give three. Wooden doors can be opened by hand, which makes them convenient and, on hard difficulty, exactly what a zombie is looking for.

In practice

A door takes six planks and gives three, which makes doors one of the better returns in the game. Dark oak is the heaviest looking of them, and a pair placed side by side reads as a double entrance rather than as two doorways.
