Hi everyone,

this mod adds a fence gate to Minetest, preserving the visual fence style of Minetest. Also it makes jumping over fence impossible and fixes the collision box of it (not like a full block anymore).
You can place the fence gate ONLY between two fence posts.

Nice mod (again)

Thank you for your work ! (im happy because it's a "minetest skin")
I add this mod instead of your other "fence-gate" old mod

the recipe of this fence-gate is the same recipe of the old-fence-gate, so how can i make the new fence-gate without loose the fences wood ?

This mod and the fences mod is not compatible, sry.

Hello,

I tried but every time it disappears. No error in debug.txt. (Minetest 0.4.10)

Thanks

If so, does this happen aswell with just his mod enabled?

Oh, I apologize a thousand times I had not seen.
It works now ;-)

whats the difference between fences and gate besides different model and you have to place them between two fence posts?

A bug was pointed out with the expanded node box on fence posts... place 2 sand on a post then dig the bottom one and the top one hangs and cannot be removed...

Hi,

I tried to use your gate with some mobs but I've problem with the collision box. Can you tell me, what is the maximum collision box I can use for my mobs ? I try to find it myself, but I don't understand how it's working.

Hi,

mobs from sever mods still can jump the fences.

Don't know who to inform, you or the mobs modder. :)

In some mods, mobs can jump very high (sheeps in simple mobs and derivative, can jump 2 blocks or more if they follow you). The problem is more a "compatibility problem". To get rid of this problem, I modify simple mobs for my use.
Which mod are you using ?

If your problem is only when they are following you, you can try to replace this line in api.lua file

With the last fix, mobs will stop jumping when there is no need when they follow you.

I can't test it now. But if that doesn't work, or if your problem is not only when they are following you, I will test it later.

Thank you for your help.

The problem is, when they are not following me.

I want to keep some animals on my farm. But they always escape if i don't build the fences high enough. Two layers of fences works, but doesn't look good to me.

I try with one sheep and only fence_wood (no gate). It can't jump over the fence. With 2 sheeps, one can jump on the other and then over the fence. The only solution, I see for now, is to modifiy in sheep.lua (or any other animal file) the line

Hm. Increasing sheep height so that a sheep doesn't manage to jump on another sheep's back anymore because it's too heigh might indeed be a solution. Except that the sheep then won't be able to pass below something where there is enough space for the animal but not for the increased collusion box.
Mobs from mobf/animals modpack are far more well-behaved in this regard. They stay in their pens.

The craft recipe for the gate is only default:wood, it could/should be expanded to be group:wood. I've created a pull request on the repo with said changes.
