Description

Acacia Fence Gate is a swinging gate that combines the functions of a door and a fence, and it generates naturally in savanna villages. Two Acacia Planks and 4 Sticks, set in two rows of Stick, Acacia Planks, Stick, craft one Acacia Fence Gate. Acacia Fence Gate has existed in Java Edition since version 1.8 and stacks up to 64.

A closed Acacia Fence Gate forms a barrier 1.5 blocks high, so most mobs cannot jump over it, while the open state is completely non-solid and can be walked through. Acacia Fence Gate opens by hand (always away from the player), by redstone power, or when a wind charge hits it. Acacia Fence Gate connects to wooden fences, Nether brick fences, and walls, but not to glass panes or iron bars.
