[MC-269250] Zombies do not break open doors

Zombies only break closed doors on Hard difficulty. They do not break open doors. This can be a exploit by placing doors and opening them so that they appear closed.

We do not have enough information to find the cause of this issue.

Please record a video of this happening and attach it to this report.
If you are on Windows, you can use Windows+Alt+R to open a built-in app for recording game footage.
If you are on Mac (Mojave or later), you can use Shift+Command+5 to open a built-in app for recording your screen.
In case you don't have a program to record videos, we recommend using the free recording software OBS.
In case the resulting video file is too large to be uploaded to the bug tracker directly, please upload it elsewhere (e.g. as unlisted video on YouTube) and link to it here.

If a door is set to the "open" block state, zombies will be unable to break it. Despite being a well-known trick within the community, it seems this detail has never been formally noted on the bug tracker, except in MC-227660. Interestingly, when a door is placed like the left one depicted in the video, it is technically open, yet individuals unfamiliar with Minecraft's technicalities may perceive it as closed. This misconception leads to occurrences of reversed door sounds as well.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
