Description
A fence gate made from acacia wood that matches acacia fences and other acacia wood items in colour and texture. The gate fits between two fence posts and acts as an opening in a fence line allowing players and animals to pass through while keeping the overall enclosure intact. It swings open when activated and can be controlled by hand by using the interact key or by redstone devices such as buttons pressure plates or levers. The acacia fence gate is useful for making neat accessible entrances to pens gardens and pathways while keeping a consistent look with acacia themed builds. It behaves like other fence gates in the game so it connects to the fence and counts as a fence piece for pathing and mob behaviour. As a wooden gate it can be opened by villagers and certain mobs and it will burn if exposed to fire so place it with care around flame sources. Players use gates to make secure yet convenient entry points that fit the aesthetic of their builds. The acacia gate is also simple to craft and replace making it a common choice for early and late game construction projects. It works in doors and enclosure systems and pairs well with acacia fences signs and doors for a complete design.
What is Acacia Fence Gate?
The acacia fence gate is a hinged opening that sits between fence posts to create a controlled entrance. It looks like a small wooden gate and matches the acacia fence style. The gate can be opened manually or via redstone and it allows players and mobs to pass through while keeping the fence functionally intact when closed. It is a handy component when you want a doorway in a fence that looks natural and tidy. The gate adds convenience for entering pens and gardens without breaking the fence line.
Where to find Acacia Fence Gate
The acacia fence gate does not spawn in the world as a loose item. It is crafted by players from acacia wood that comes from acacia trees in savanna type biomes. In savanna villages gates may appear in local builds where villagers use the local wood. Most commonly you will find fence gates in player built farms and yards as part of livestock pens or garden plots where they provide access points.
How to get Acacia Fence Gate
To make an acacia fence gate you will first collect acacia logs from trees in a savanna biome. Convert the logs into planks then use the planks to craft sticks. The gate recipe requires four sticks and two planks arranged in the crafting table to produce one fence gate. In creative mode the gate is available in the building menu. Crafting is the usual way to obtain the gate in survival mode but you may also find them in village builds or as part of custom structures on certain maps.
