Birch Fence Gate

FAQ
Does a closed Birch Fence Gate block mobs?
Yes. Closed, it acts as a 1.5-block-high solid barrier that most mobs cannot jump over; opened, it is fully passable.
What breaks a Birch Fence Gate fastest?
An axe, though any tool or bare hands will eventually break it and it always drops itself.
Can a Birch Fence Gate catch fire?
Yes. Like other overworld wood fence gates it is flammable and can be destroyed by nearby fire or lava.
Can I connect a Birch Fence Gate to fences of other wood types?
Visually and functionally it connects to any fence type for blocking purposes, though the gate itself only matches its own birch texture.
