Did you know that fence gates are just as useful in real life as they are in the world of Minecraft? In fact, if you find Minecraft gates to be useful, safe, and satisfying, there is a really good chance an actual driveway gate will give you the same security, safety, and beauty.
Here’s the good news: you can get a fence gate that is remarkably similar to a Minecraft fence gate and just as useful for your own home.
But before we get into all this, let's discuss our Minecraft fences and why we love them. Here’s why I think we love Minecraft fence gates( see if you agree or not)
Minecraft Gates: Safe and Secure, but also Beautiful and Interesting!
In the world of Minecraft (the movie is not looking good, by the way! How did they get Jason Mamoa to be in it?), you basically use your fence as a block, and it works great both for decoration and functionality: you can create an enclosure for animals, or add structure to your building.
Here’s what makes those gates special:
1. Their Design and Appearance
The beauty of a Minecraft fence is that it is simple but effective, and you can easily customize it to fit your preferences.
To be honest, they mostly consist of narrow vertical posts connected by horizontal bars, but the real reason they are fun is that you have the option to be creative with them: you can craft your fence gate from different types of wood, other materials, or even bamboo, each with its own appearance.
- Brick fences are darker and more menacing, wooden fences are cute and practical, and bamboo fences look really good.
2. They are Functional
The second reason we love Minecraft fences is because they are effective: they work as barrier blocks and are also great for pathfinding. When you have a fence that is 1.5-block-high, other players and mobs can’t jump over it, even though they appear visually shorter.
- Most mobs see fences as a barrier and won’t try to cross them.
- Only people you deem safe, such as villagers and animals, can pass through fence gates attached to fences.
3. You Get to Craft Them
In Minecraft, you get to build your fence by yourself. For wooden fences, you can use planks and sticks, and for brick fences, you can use nether bricks. Building a Minecraft fence is fun.
4. They are Compatible with Redstone
You can pair your fence with a fence gate so only you can determine who gets in or out.
You also have the option to open your fence gate manually or via Redstone power (like levers or pressure plates), which adds another level of convenience to your home or city.
5. They Look Good
Though relatively simple, Minecraft fences are great for decorating your building and upgrading its glow and appeal. Different wood types provide options for matching your build’s theme, and you can use them to construct railings, balconies, and garden areas.
You Will Love These Real-Life Fence Gates
Now that we have established that Minecraft fence gates are useful, practical, and adorable, check out these real-life gates from Zumi. Then, we will discuss what makes them special, too ( if that is not obvious enough from the design).
ZUMI Brooklyn Style Dual Swing Driveway Gates
Of all the thousands of gate opener designs, the Brooklyn Style Dual Gates look most like a Minecraft gate. It oozes the same elegance and simplicity with its squarish structure, which is designed more for solidity and practicality than beauty. Its steel bars are so close together that nobody can jump over the gate or sneak through it.
ZUMI Greenwich Style Dual Swing Driveway Gates
While the Greenwich Style Gate model does not particularly look like the Minecraft models, it has other features and characteristics, which, in truth, may even make it better for your home! Notice how the curves at the top of the two leaves converge in the middle, and the two leaves are designed to form a butterfly when closed. The base is strong and solid, with vertical spikes to give it that impenetrable air without taking away its beauty and grace.
ZUMI Opera Style Dual Swing Driveway Gates
This Opera-Style Gate has two beautiful curved tops that meet in the middle when closed. It is called an opera-style gate because the curved o-rings in the middle and at the top end give it the class and distinction of an opera house. It is classy but firm. All those steel bars are extra strong and corrosion-resistant, as well.
ZUMI Sydney Style Dual Swing Driveway Gates
This Syndey-style Gate is designed for ruggedness. It looks like the Greenwich model but is deliberately less opulent because it is designed for ruggedness and practicality. You can tell from the design that the emphasis is on solidity and practicality more than class or beauty. The spiked bars, however, do add a touch of majesty.
Better than Minecraft Fence Gates?
- Like Minecraft fence gates, these swing gates make a grand entrance and keep your kids and pets safe, blending elegance with security. They are crafted from hot-dip galvanized steel with a corrosion-resistant coating and are built to handle anything Mother Nature throws their way.
