Spruce Fence Gate is the dark-wood gate that closes the opening in a spruce fence, and a crafting table turns four spruce planks and two sticks into one such gate. Spruce Fence Gate swings open with a player right-click and opens or closes the moment a redstone signal reaches the block, which makes the gate a player-only shortcut through pastures and mob pens. Spruce Fence Gate breaks fastest with an axe at a hardness of 2, resists creeper and TNT blasts with a blast resistance of 3, and stacks to 64 per inventory slot. Spruce Fence Gate is a renewable resource, because spruce logs regrow from saplings planted in taiga and snowy taiga biomes, and each gate doubles as furnace fuel that smelts 1.5 items.

Spruce Fence Gate is the natural entry point for taiga cabins and snowy-survival bases, where builders pair the gate with a spruce fence to fence in cows, sheep, horses, and foxes while keeping the player's path open. When closed, Spruce Fence Gate acts as a 1.5-block-tall barrier that most hostile and passive mobs cannot jump, and hostile mobs treat a closed gate as solid and cannot spot players standing behind the block. Spruce Fence Gate is flammable and ignites from lava or nearby flames, so builders keep the gate clear of fire sources. Spruce Fence Gate was added to Java Edition in snapshot 14w32b of version 1.8 and to Bedrock Edition in Pocket Edition v0.10.0 alpha build 1, separating the dark brown wood from the oak-only fence gate that shipped at launch.
