How to use an Oak Fence Gate in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the Oak Fence Gate
Open your crafting table and place oak sticks in columns 1 and 3 of both rows, then place 2 oak planks in column 2 (one in row 1, one in row 2). This 3×2 recipe yields 1 Oak Fence Gate per craft.
-
2
Place the Oak Fence Gate in your enclosure
Position the Oak Fence Gate between two Oak Fence posts or solid blocks. The Oak Fence Gate will automatically align and connect to adjacent Oak Fence blocks to form a seamless barrier.
-
3
Open and close the Oak Fence Gate
Right-click the Oak Fence Gate to open or close it. When the Oak Fence Gate is open, players and mobs can walk through freely because the Oak Fence Gate acts as air. When the Oak Fence Gate is closed, its 1.5-block hitbox blocks passage and jumping.

4
Automate the Oak Fence Gate with Redstone
Connect a Redstone signal — from a button, lever, or pressure plate — to the Oak Fence Gate to open or close it automatically. The Oak Fence Gate responds to Redstone power on the same level or one block below.
-
5
Use the Oak Fence Gate as a mob barrier
Place the Oak Fence Gate in a farm or pen entrance: mobs cannot open the Oak Fence Gate by themselves, so animals stay inside your enclosure while you pass through freely.
Oak Fence Gate is flammable with a blast resistance of only 3.0, so replace Oak Fence Gate with a non-flammable gate variant (such as a Nether Brick Fence Gate) near lava or in The Nether.
