How to Make Crimson Fence Gate in Minecraft

Crimson Fence Gate — Minecraft block

Crimson Fence Gate

Crimson Fence Gate is a non-flammable (does not catch fire) gate that works as both a door and a fence.

Description

Crimson Fence Gate is crafted from two Crimson Planks and four Sticks arranged in two adjacent rows of Stick, Crimson Planks, Stick on a crafting grid, and one craft yields one gate. Crimson Fence Gate was added in Java Edition 1.16 alongside the Warped Fence Gate, and Bedrock Edition 1.16.0 added both as well. Crimson Fence Gate stacks to 64 and is renewable (can be obtained again without limit).

Crimson Fence Gate shares the jobs of a door and a fence: players open it by using it, and Wind Charges or redstone power toggle it too. A placed Crimson Fence Gate faces toward the player who put it down, and a gate opened by hand swings away from that player. Wooden fences, Nether Brick Fences and walls connect to Crimson Fence Gate, while Glass Panes and Iron Bars do not. Placement needs no block beneath, so Crimson Fence Gate can float in mid-air.

Guide

How to craft and use a Crimson Fence Gate in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft the gate

    Fill two adjacent rows of the crafting grid with Stick, Crimson Planks, Stick, so that Sticks fill the outer columns and Crimson Planks the middle column, to get one Crimson Fence Gate.

  2. 2

    Place it in the fence line

    Crimson Fence Gate faces the player who places it, so stand on the side the gate should face. Wooden fences, Nether Brick Fences and walls attach to the gate.

  3. 3

    Open and close by hand

    Using Crimson Fence Gate opens it, the gate swings away from the player, and another use closes it again.

  4. 4

    Power it with redstone

    A Redstone Torch or a Block of Redstone next to Crimson Fence Gate opens it immediately, and removing the power closes it immediately.

Closed by hand

A Crimson Fence Gate closed by hand stays shut under a steady redstone signal and reopens only after the signal turns off and on again.

Which tool breaks a Crimson Fence Gate fastest?

Can players walk through an open Crimson Fence Gate?
