So I just finished putting up my fence barrier around my piece of land and after that I made my wheat farm, no problem right? WRONG! I needed a why to close off my land to animals and other unwelcome guests so I put up a door. Now a two block high door looks disgusting when put next to a one block high fence . So that is why half doors or gates are needed instead of regular door because they look nicer when making fence off area or farm. Would you agree?
I have it wired so with one switch I can close the whole fence minus the gate and with another switch I can close the gate. I'm not really sure why the whole fence.
Yes. I've often wondered why the half-door wasn't made available and called a gate.
Doors sit on the edge of a block. For gates to work with fences, they have to sit in the middle of the block, or else they'd look funky. This is, to my understanding, the primary reason we don't have gates, despite them being requested since fences.

I see how that could work but I do not have any slime balls to make sticky pistons
Or was that changed/fixed in the mod?
Not anymore. Fixed in 1.6.

Lol, that's what I suggested a few posts up.
Yes but I had pictures. :smile.gif:

Well then this is quite the predicament. You could build a wall instead of fences...
