A torii is a Japanese gateway placed at the entrance to a shrine. Chances are that you know the structure even if you don't recognize the name. Torii gates can be built in Minecraft, and make an interesting addition to any other Japanese-style build in Minecraft.
Steps
-
1Place down two dark oak logs with a 5 block gap in between them. You can use spruce logs if dark oak is scarce.
-
2Place seven acacia wood planks on top of each log.Advertisement
-
3Build an upper lintel with acacia wood slabs. The lintel should protrude 2 blocks out of either side of the pillars.
-
4Place a row of dark oak (or spruce) slabs across the top. The row should protrude 1 block out of either side of the acacia lintel.
-
5Place an acacia wood slab on the bottom of the plank below the upper lintel.
-
6Build across from the slab in step 5 to form a lower lintel.
-
7Add two acacia wood slabs to either side of the lower lintel.
- Replace the middle slabs in each lintel with acacia wood planks afterward.
-
8Create a myōjin torii variant.
- Skip only the first part of step 7 to create a Nakayama torii.
- Skip only the second part of step 7 to create an Usa torii

1Try constructing a stone torii. Use cobblestone in place of acacia and stone bricks in place of dark oak. Stone torii do exist in real life, but are rarer due to them being harder to build.
-
2Build a prismarine torii for your underwater lair. Obviously prismarine torii don't exist in real life, but a Minecraft torii built from prismarine bricks and dark prismarine can look very cool.
-
3Try some of these block schemes:
- Sandstone (in place of acacia), red sandstone slabs, and chiseled sandstone. Creates a desert-style torii.
- Sandstone (in place of acacia) and purpur (in place of dark oak). Creates an End-ish torii. Doesn't use end stone brick as it doesn't have a slab form.
- Nether brick, for a hellish torii outside your evil volcano lair.
- Quartz (in place of acacia) and stone slabs (in place of dark oak). Creates a clean-looking white torii.
