Gate

Gates are a new block added in Public Beta 27. Gates have been anticipated with great excitment in the mod community for quite some time. There are many different types of gates for many different factions, and some plain ones, like wood, iron and bronze. Gates are exactly what they say they are, basically huge doors.

Mechanics
Once they have been placed on the ground, gates function exactly as doors do. When right-clicked on, they become transparent, and can be walked through. When right clicked on again, they become opaque, and cannot be passed through. However, gates are different than doors in one large way. They are placed as one block, and can be expanded apon to create massive doors. There is no known limit to how large a gate can be, however a gate will only open in a 16 block radius from where you click on it or where a redstone signal is applied. Gates, like doors, can also be opened when a redstone signal is applied to them. A gate cannot be opened when holding any kind of gate block. This is nice for building large gates in precarious places. Also, gates of any kind (see below) will mesh with each other to become one large gate, instead of two small ones.

One block gates can be used as arrow slits/doors. Just make sure to sneak when firing or it will close. Placing gates from above results in trapdoors useful for murder holes and traps.

Types and Crafting
There are 12 different types of gates, shown in the chart below. To craft a gate, you always need a gate gear in the centre and 8 other items around it of various material as shown in the list: Gate Limitation discovered by: Anglinex and MilkMC
