Tip For Finding Maxwell's Door:

The door won't be that far from your spawn base. If, when you check the map, and zoom out as much as possible, the map will be between 80% and 150% of aa square, diagonally or horizontally. The best way to find it is to spawn a world at Default Plus, remove all enemies and set the food to the highest setting ("Lots" on PC, Linux and Mac, "Default" on PS4), set the game to Day Only and Summer Only. Always refer to the map; if you're more than a square from base camp, turn back. It's typical to spawn at the edge of the map or close to it, so that's an extra advantage. When you find it, just remember to burn the trees and Evil Flowers. It will take an average of ~8 days (in and about an hour real time) to find it (assuming you spawn close to the edge, go the wrong way once, and find it before checking the entire possible areas). I've found it on day 2 the earliest. It can't be made easier.

Note: Maxwell's Door will always spawn on a Forest Biome.

Addendum: This Forest Biome will be a small mosaic and has no predisposition to what biome it is in.

Tested over recording the results of a total of 57 Maxwell's Door finds.

Note: This has no correlation towards finding the Wooden Thing parts (though they has a fairly high chance of being on the edge of the map, the chance of one not being completely out of the way is fairly low - that the Diving Rod finds Maxwell's Door is just a bonus).
