Description

Cherry Fence Gate is a fence gate that shares the functions of both a door and a fence. Closed, Cherry Fence Gate forms a barrier 1.5 blocks high that most mobs cannot jump over. Cherry Fence Gate is crafted from 2 Cherry Planks and 4 Sticks in a 3×2 shape: a column of 2 planks with a column of 2 Sticks on each side, which yields 1 gate. Cherry Fence Gate was added in Java Edition 1.20 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.0.

Cherry Fence Gate opens and closes by hand, always swinging away from the player, or by a wind charge. A redstone signal opens Cherry Fence Gate at once. Losing the signal closes Cherry Fence Gate at once. An open Cherry Fence Gate has no collision, so players and mobs walk straight through. Cherry Fence Gate stacks to 64 and is renewable.

Guide

How to craft and use a Cherry Fence Gate in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the gate

    A Crafting Table takes 2 Cherry Planks in a vertical column with a column of 2 Sticks on each side, which yields 1 Cherry Fence Gate.

  2. 2

    Place the gate

    Cherry Fence Gate goes into a gap in a fence line and turns to face the player who places Cherry Fence Gate, regardless of any other fences around.

  3. 3

    Open the gate by hand

    Using Cherry Fence Gate swings the gate open away from the player, and a second use closes the gate.

  4. 4

    Power the gate with redstone

    A Redstone Torch or a Block of Redstone next to Cherry Fence Gate, or a powered Redstone Repeater facing the gate, opens the gate at once, and removing the signal closes the gate at once.

  5. 5

    Remove the gate

    An axe breaks Cherry Fence Gate fastest, though any other tool or an empty hand also works.

Closing by hand under power

Cherry Fence Gate closed by hand while redstone powers Cherry Fence Gate stays shut until the signal turns off and on again.
