This is an article about the Stile being added to vanilla minecraft!
If you would like to see the article about this becoming a mod, click here! The Stile Mod! (Hopefully, anyway!)
Have you ever had to maintain a hefty animal farm?
Isnt repopulating your cows and chickens a hassle when they all scramble out the gate when you open it?
It is?!
Then let me introduce to you, the Stile!
The Stile is crafted like so!
OR Do you have any crafting recipe ideas?
But what is The stile?
Stile
/stīl/ noun
An arrangement of steps that allow people but not animals to climb over a fence or wall.
The stile i am referring to is simple. Its a wooden fence, with a plank of wood in between the barriers!
And it will be oh so handy! The stile acts like a regular fence block, being two-and-a-half blocks tall, and transparent! Instead of having to open a fence gate and accidentally let out the animals in your pen, you can simply climb The Stile like a ladder! This allows players to travel in and out of their animal pens without the risk of animals escaping! How Handy!
And that's not all! The stile functions very well as a decorative block! adding that touch of variety to your long perimeter fences. It also acts as a nice replacement block if your fences contain too many gates!
Now that the wonderful introduction is over with, i need a little help from you folks out there!
It would also be appreciated if someone could make a recipe image of the finished stile!
Here are a couple reference images to show you what they might look like!
And hey! It looks like we have our very first peice of Concept Art!

I'd really appretiate any help you guys could lend! and please, tell me if this suggestion is a good idea! I'd love to hear your feedback!
You could use pressure plates or buttons to open the fence gate for a small amount of time , or use other kinds of gates ( for example : fence near nether brick fence trick , or carpet and fence trick )
Being a nerd is nothing to be ashamed of. Nerds rule the world! Who invented the internet? Nerds. Who created personal computers and smart phones? Nerds. Who made every video game you've ever played and ever will? Still nerds. Who sent probes to distant planets? Nerds, nerds and more nerds! I'm a nerd and I'm proud.

If you use pressure plates your your gates, the animals could just walk on them and escape!Even if you put plates on the outside only, you still run the risk of letting your animals escape when you exit!

You even use double fence gates , place a fence gate , then then leave one empty space and place another one , this way you open the first one , close it while in the middle , and then open the second one , and even if the animals went threw one of them , they will be stuck in the middle . But ... I'm on the fence here . ( Get it ? Fence ? Fence gates , stiles ? no , ok ... )

Well, that 'can' work, but i feel like its not as simple, or as elegant. I think it would be much nicer to have The Stile as a neat decoration/utility block. Think of it like redstone! Yes, you can use redstone and torches to get the same effect that a repeater will give you, but Mojang added repeaters anyway for their compactness!
I don't see much use for this unfortunately. I've never had a problem with mobs pushing out of a fence gate unless the area was overly crowded, like putting 30+ cows in a 5x5 pen. And any situation like that is easily fixed with a double gate or having a 1 block gap between you fence and a block on the inside so you can jump onto the fence and out of the pen.

The problem is that animals seem to have the nerve-racking urge to head to open gates.

While that certainly is true, that is a user error, not a game issue. The same thing happens in real life when you leave a gate open. But this is the kind of thing that I don't actually care if it is added, it wouldn't hurt the game at all. I just would never need it.

You know, animals should actually open doors and gates. I like the idea of a stile though. Gives the game a slightly more rural touch. But, why not make stiles simply climbable or something like that? Climb up one side, drop down the other. Else, people could use stiles as a quick transport method.
Another option is that if you keep the teleporting, make the player FACE in the opposite direction after teleporting so that it is like they climbed up and down. It would also help reduce the exploitable nature of teleporting.
As for all of you who dont give support, i've noticed that most of your arguments tend to be "Minecraft does not need this."
My retort is simple. Did minecraft need bouncy slime blocks? Did Minecraft need colorful banners?
there are many blocks in Minecraft that are not needed, and yet were added to the game for their practicality or aesthetics.
I feel the same should apply to The Stile. Dont you?
Also, I have taken your many opinions into consideration, and i have decided to alter The Stile to function the way the community wants! The Stile will be climable, like a ladder, by players only! This way you could not exploit the right-click to teleport function of the previous model!
I feel like this will make a lot of you happier and earn your support!
Please keep commenting! I am always eager to hear your ideas and opinions!

Please research a better way before trying to make a single object that fixes a problem.
