New Fences? New Gates?

One thing we saw slipped into the 34b snapshot was the inclusion of new fences and gates, as mentioned by Grum!

There are more decorative options pouring in from the impending 1.8 update, I'm beside myself, making all sorts of plans for banner-covered, armor-stand-guarded castles, homes, and more! What kinds of things would you make with the new fence and gate options?

SNAPSHOT UPDATES! (8/8/14)

This week's snapshot is now 14w32d, fixing the following problems:

[Bug MC-64425] – Can't place blocks on TNT
[Bug MC-64513] – Cannot go upstairs if there is a carpet above a step

[Bug MC-65876] – Jungle Planks craft Spruce Fences/Gates
[Bug MC-65935] – /entitydata doesn't change the pose tag on armor stands until you relog
[Bug MC-586] – Beacon light does not travel through water
[Bug MC-34815] – Hearts do not blink when regenerating (Cause identified in code)
[Bug MC-59533] – Beacon beam shows but effect is not applied and can't be edited
[Bug MC-59889] – Crash when seeing mobappearance particles
[Bug MC-63174] – Heads Face Wrong Way in Item Frames
[Bug MC-64024] – Crash report (Batching chunks java.util.ConcurrentModificationException)
[Bug MC-64188] – execute with relative coordinates commands are forced to the center of the X and Z axis of the block the target is in, not the target itself
[Bug MC-64536] – Entities darken when items in frames are rendered
[Bug MC-65512] – Pick Block on Double Red Sandstone Slab crashes the game.
[Bug MC-65524] – Unable to pick block on armor stand

Actually, a majority of the team IS working on optimization and stability, but you have to remember that a lot of players are inpatient kids who want more content all the time. Have you not seen the fact that they've almost entirely rewrote the engine? The droves of bug fixes with each snapshot and release? Adding new fences is not going to decrease the stability of the game.... Not to mention the fact that when I bought this game in 2010, I would have NEVER believed someone who told me that it would still be getting regular new content and such four full years later. Minecraft is the single greatest investment in gaming I've ever made, so why complain? If you don't like the new stuff, play the old. I, meanwhile, will enjoy it!

I can't find the Tweet, but Dinnerbone has been talking a lot about game optimization testing that they've been doing internally. They are trying to make MC more performance-oriented, believe me, they have not forgotten about it at all.

As for the new fences, finally, please add it Mojang!

You might not be the only one who is unimpressed by these content additions, but good golly you should be!
1.8 is growing to become one of the greatest updates i've ever seen in the works!
Just look at all of the stuff that is being added!
At first, players called it the MapMakers update.
Then the Undersea Update!
Then the buggiest update in history..
Then the Bunny Update!
not to mention that Mojang have been adding little things in every update like Iron Trapdoors or Colorful fences!
These are things that the Minecraft community have been asking for ever since they picked up the game!
This update should Really be called "The update that had something for everybody" because holy snap, it did.
Architects, Adventurers, Redstoners, they all have something in 1.8 waiting for them, and i don't care HOW long it takes. when 1.8 comes out, people are going to be happy. You might be unimpressed by the content additions, but i really hope there aren't many more who are.

Why not doors and trap doors too? We have every color of planks, stairs, slabs, and now fence and fence gates.... but no doors/trap doors ta match.

Now all we need are half slabs that can be placed sideways. (on the wall) so we could have half walls

While I'm ECSTATIC that they finally added these fences and gates, I'm unhappy that the recipes aren't more efficient. 4 blocks in should make 4 blocks out, and they changed the door recipe to do that, so why not fences and gates? I think you should get 4 fences, not 3, and 2 gates, not 1.

okay the forums just flat-out don't work for me. replying to other people's posts is just making a huge mess that doesn't make any sense so screw it.

I hope they don't make unique wood sticks because that would junk up my inventory without being very useful.
I hope and am confident that they will add unique wood doors sometime soon, now that they have added unique wood fences.

I just went on Minecraft Snapshot 14w32d and there were wood specific doors, and they look so different not just recolored but completely new textures.

Will the fences appear by biome type? (Ex: Acacia Biome will have Acacia wood fences) or will there be stuff like Dark Oak Crafting Tables, Spruce Sticks, Jungle Fences, etc? I'm really excited!
