How to Make Dark Oak Fence Gate in Minecraft
Dark Oak Fence Gate
Dark Oak Fence Gate is a wooden gate that opens by hand or redstone and closes the gap in a dark oak fence line.
Description
Dark Oak Fence Gate opens away from the player, and a closed gate forms a barrier 1.5 blocks high that most mobs cannot jump over. A Wind Charge from a player, a Dispenser or a Breeze toggles the gate, and a redstone signal opens the gate at once. Wooden fences and walls connect to Dark Oak Fence Gate, but glass panes and iron bars do not. Dark Oak Fence Gate burns and catches fire from lava, yet it serves as furnace fuel that smelts 1.5 items per gate. Dark Oak Fence Gate first appeared in Java Edition 1.8, the same version that added gates of four other wood types.
