Building with it

A Dark Oak Fence Gate closes a dark oak fence line cleanly and works with any redstone that a door does. Two sticks and four planks make one. Because a gate is only one block tall, a fence line broken by a gate is a jump-in point unless you raise the ground behind it.

In practice

A fence gate opens by hand or by redstone, and unlike a door it does not block mob pathing when closed against a fence line. Dark oak makes the darkest gate in the game, which matters when the fence beside it is the same wood and the join should be invisible. A fence gate is the only block that connects to a fence line without breaking it, and it opens with a click or a redstone pulse. Dark oak gates are used most in builds where the fence and the gate should read as one continuous piece of timber.
