How to Craft Birch Fence Gate in Minecraft

Birch Fence Gate in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Gate for fence enclosures. Minecraft has used the name Birch Fence Gate since 1.8.

The recipe wants 4 Sticks and 2 Birch Planks, and a Crafting Table to run it on. Place them as four Sticks in the left and right columns and two Birch Planks filling the middle column. Done once, that is 1 Birch Fence Gate. Burn it instead and one gives 300 ticks, which means 43 Birch Fence Gates take a stack of 64 all the way through a furnace.

Birch Fence Gate Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Birch Fence Gate is minecraft:birch_fence_gate. In commands the namespace may be left off, so birch_fence_gate works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p birch_fence_gate
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p birch_fence_gate 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve birch_fence_gate 1

Cheats have to be on for Birch Fence Gate to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
