Description
Dark Oak Fence Gate is a wooden gate that fits into fence lines to allow players to walk through while keeping animals and mobs contained. The gate matches dark oak fences visually and can be opened and closed by right clicking or by using redstone mechanisms such as buttons and levers. It provides a compact and visually consistent way to create entrances in fenced enclosures for livestock gardens or decorative areas. When closed the gate acts as a barrier similar to a fence while allowing player passage when opened which makes it ideal for controlled access points in farms and base perimeters. The gate can be toggled by redstone pulses and can be connected to pressure plates or observers for automatic operation when desired. The dark oak color integrates with themed builds where a darker wood finish is preferred as part of the overall aesthetic.
