Where Can Mangrove Fence Gates Be Found?

Mangrove Fence Gates are not naturally generated in the game and must be crafted by players. To create one, players need four sticks and two Mangrove Planks. In the crafting table, place the planks in the center column with a stick on either side of both rows to yield one Mangrove Fence Gate.

Mangrove Planks are crafted from Mangrove Logs, which are harvested from mangrove trees. These trees grow exclusively in the Mangrove Swamp biome, introduced in the 1.19 update. This biome is characterized by its sprawling mangrove trees, waterlogged terrain, and abundant mud blocks. Players can use an axe to efficiently collect Mangrove Logs.

What Can Players Do with a Mangrove Fence Gate?

The Mangrove Fence Gate serves both functional and decorative purposes. Functionally, it provides a secure access point for enclosures made with Mangrove Fences, allowing players to contain mobs or animals while still being able to enter and exit freely. The gate can be opened and closed manually or automated using redstone devices like pressure plates, levers, or buttons, making it versatile for various builds.

Decoratively, the warm reddish-brown tone of the Mangrove Fence Gate pairs beautifully with other mangrove blocks, such as Mangrove Fences and Mangrove Stairs. It is especially suited for builds inspired by natural or tropical settings, such as jungle huts, swamp villages, or riverfront cabins. The gate also connects seamlessly with fences of other wood types, providing flexibility in mixed-material designs.
