LLS Missing Blocks guide: barn doors, double gates, slabs, the wooden bucket and every recipe

LLS Missing Blocks adds the building pieces vanilla Bedrock skipped: barn doors that really slide and swing, a gate wide enough for a tractor, fences in two new heights, half-height path and grass, lamps, a bucket made of planks and a stool you can sit on. This guide covers how to get each one, how to place it, and the details that aren’t obvious from the creative menu.

It’s written against version 1.2.0, the current download. The same blocks are built into the Farm Sim Pack, so everything here applies there too. Don’t switch both packs on in one world: they’d load the same blocks twice.

Barn doors

There are 156 wooden barn doors: three sizes, sliding or swinging, plain or windowed, in 13 woods. The woods are oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry, pale oak, bamboo, crimson, warped and poplar. Poplar is vanilla wood from Bedrock 26.50, so its recipes need that version or newer. There are also six iron lab doors, below.

Size	Doorway
Small	1 wide, 2 tall
Standard	2 wide, 3 tall
Big	3 wide, 4 tall

Crafting a door

Every door recipe is shapeless: drop the ingredients anywhere in a crafting table’s grid. You need planks of the door’s wood, plus pale oak planks for the trim: one for a sliding door, two for a swinging door. A windowed door swaps some planks for glass panes.

Door	Planks of its wood	Pale oak planks	Glass panes
Small sliding	3	1	–
Small sliding, windowed	3	1	1
Small swinging	3	2	–
Small swinging, windowed	3	2	1
Standard sliding	6	1	–
Standard sliding, windowed	6	1	1
Standard swinging	6	2	–
Standard swinging, windowed	6	2	1
Big sliding	7	1	–
Big sliding, windowed	5	1	2
Big swinging	7	2	–
Big swinging, windowed	5	2	2

A pale oak door is all pale oak: the trim planks are the same wood, so a big sliding pale oak door is just eight pale oak planks.

Where to find pale oak: pale oak trees only grow in the Pale Garden biome, a rare grey variant of the dark forest. One trip for a few logs gives you trim for a whole barn: a log makes four planks.

Lab doors

Iron doors with a window, in the same three sizes, sliding or swinging. They’re made like the wooden ones, shapeless, with iron in place of planks:

Lab door	Iron ingots	Glass panes	Iron nuggets
Small sliding	3	1	1
Small swinging	3	1	2
Standard sliding	6	1	1
Standard swinging	6	1	2
Big sliding	5	2	1
Big swinging	5	2	2

They place, open, pair up and break exactly like the barn doors.

Placing a door

Stand facing the wall opening.
Use the door on the floor block where the bottom-left corner of the doorway should be. The door fills the space up and to your right from there.
The whole doorway has to be air. If anything’s in the way, the action bar tells you the size it needs, for example this door needs a clear 2-wide, 3-tall doorway.

Tap or right-click the door to open it. It slides along the wall or swings through a full quarter turn, rather than snapping open, and plays the door sound for its wood.

Double doors

Place a second door of the same type right beside the first and it mirrors itself, so the two leaves part from the middle like a real barn. Opening either one opens both. Pairing goes by position, not by which one you placed first, so you can build them in either order.

Breaking a door

Sneak and punch. The door, and the invisible blocks that make its doorway solid, come away together and drop the door item. A punch without sneaking only shows a reminder, so a door can’t be lost to a stray swing in the middle of a fight.

Double-wide gates

A double gate is one leaf two blocks wide, hinged on an end post, that swings open in 0.4 seconds. It’s wide enough for a horse and cart, a tractor or a combine. There are three heights, in the same 13 woods as the barn doors.

Gate	Recipe (shaped)
Double garden gate	Two vanilla fence gates of one wood, side by side
Double gate	Two fence gates, with two sticks in the row underneath
Double tall gate	Two fence gates, with two rows of two sticks underneath

The vanilla gate you use sets the wood. An oak double gate takes two plain oak fence gates.

Placing and using a gate

Use the gate on the ground where its left end should go. It needs a clear two-block gap to your right; if one isn’t there, the action bar says so. Tap it to open or shut.

Put two double gates in line and the second one mirrors itself, so the pair opens from the middle into a four-block opening.

Shut, the standard and tall gates are as tall to a mob as a vanilla fence, so livestock can’t jump them. The garden gate is a low decorative one and won’t hold animals. Open, any gate is a clear path, and animals will walk through it on their own. Like the doors, gates break with sneak + punch.

If you’re curious how a block game ends up with a swinging gate, the devlog has the full story: Making a gate swing in Minecraft Bedrock.

Garden and tall fences

Two new fence heights join up with each other the way vanilla fences do:

Garden fence: a low rail for flower beds and front gardens. It’s decorative and won’t keep animals in.
Tall fence: a paddock rail with two blocks of collision, which keeps even a camel in. Camels step straight over a vanilla fence.

Both are made from the vanilla fence of the same wood, the way the double gates are made from vanilla gates:

Fence	Recipe	Makes
Garden fence	1 vanilla fence, shapeless	2
Tall fence	3 vanilla fences stacked in a column, shaped	2

They come in all 13 woods, and they join up with vanilla fences, walls and the double gates.

Path slab and grass slab

Block	Recipe (shapeless)	Makes
Path slab	1 dirt	2
Grass slab	1 grass block	2

The path slab is path-coloured on every face, so stepping a path down half a block doesn’t leave a dirt-brown edge. The grass slab takes its colour from the biome, the same as a grass block, so a raised bed or a stepped lawn matches the grass around it.

The grass slab needs Minecraft 1.21.120 or newer. That’s why the pack as a whole asks for 1.21.120.

Wooden bucket

A bucket on day one, made from planks instead of three iron ingots.

Recipe (shaped): planks in a V, same shape as the vanilla bucket: one plank in each top corner, one in each middle corner, one in the bottom middle. Any planks work, and you can mix woods.

What it does:

Fills with water or powder snow, from source blocks only, the same as vanilla
Pours what it holds, and works in creative without emptying
Milks cows, mooshrooms and goats (not calves or kids), and the wooden milk bucket clears every effect when you drink it, the same as vanilla milk
Stacks to 16 while empty

It won’t carry lava. A pail made of planks has no business holding molten rock, so iron stays the price of moving it. Dispensers can’t use it either, because dispenser behaviour is hard-coded per item in Bedrock and an add-on can’t extend it.

Stool

Recipe (shaped): three planks across the top row, a stick in each bottom corner. The planks set the wood, and there’s a stool in every one of the 13 woods.

Tap or right-click the stool to sit, facing the way you were looking
Sneak to stand back up
Sneak + tap places a block against the stool instead of sitting

Your hands stay free while you’re sitting, so you can fish from a stool the way you can from a boat. A stool needs headroom: with a block right on top of it, it won’t let you sit, because your head would be inside that block.

Lamps

Three lights for houses and barns, all at full brightness (light level 15):

Lamp	Recipe (shaped)	Makes
White Floor Lamp	White wool, glowstone, white wool on top; a stick in the middle; a quartz block at the bottom	1
Black Floor Lamp	The same with black wool and polished blackstone	1
Ceiling Light	Three iron ingots on top; glass pane, glowstone, glass pane underneath	3

Ceiling lights join up. Place them end to end in a line and the ends between them light up, so four in a row read as one long batten. A light only joins another one running the same way, so a light crossing yours at right angles stays its own fixture.

Troubleshooting

“Needs a clear doorway” or “a clear gap to your right”: something is in the space, often tall grass or a torch. Clear it, or place from the other side so the door grows the other way.
A dirt path under a gate turns back into dirt. That’s Bedrock: a path block reverts when something solid sits on it, and the gate’s collision counts. Lay the path either side of the gate.
Invisible doors or purple-and-black blocks: the resource pack isn’t switched on in that world. See how to install Bedrock add-ons.

Something you wish vanilla had? That’s what this pack is for. Suggest it on the Discord and it goes on the list.
