Minecraft Door Types:
All doors, regardless of material, offer similar protection against mobs (only zombies, husks, and vindicators can break them; others require only closure). Opening and closing is always mechanical (double right-click).

Pressure plates trigger nearby door opening. Be mindful that this affects both players and mobs.
Custom Mechanical Automated Doors:
Beyond crafted doors, players can build complex mechanical doors. This requires significant resources: 4 sticky pistons, 2 solid blocks (any material), 4 blocks for the door itself, redstone dust, torches, and 2 pressure plates.
