## Overview
10
11
The **Gate** mechanic in CraftBook allows players to create vertically-opening gates or portcullises using fences or iron bars. These gates can be toggled open and closed with redstone power or signs, enabling functional, aesthetic entrances for castles, prisons, or secure areas.
12
13
This mechanic is ideal for immersive builds and works seamlessly with redstone contraptions or permission-based systems.

* Works with fences and iron bars
20
* Vertical sliding open/close motion
21
* Redstone toggle support
22
* Optional `[Gate]` sign control
23
* Supports permission and logic integration (e.g., redstone, levers)

## Usage
28
29
### Gate Construction
30
31
1. Build a vertical column of fences or iron bars (the gate material).
32
2. Place a `[Gate]` sign within 3 block of the gate (usually beside it).
33
3. Power the sign with redstone to open or close the gate.
34
35
* **Unpowered** = gate extended (closed)
36
* **Powered** = gate retracted (open)

### Sign Syntax
39
40
```
41
Line 1: <leave empty>
42
Line 2: [Gate]
43
```

## Redstone Integration
48
49
The gate responds directly to redstone power:
50
51
* Power the sign block or a block adjacent to it.
52
* The gate retracts (opens) when the circuit is on, and extends (closes) when off.
53
* Combine with levers, buttons, daylight sensors, or pressure plates for more complex setups.

## Tips
58
59
* Only fences and iron bars are supported by default.
60
* Make sure the `[Gate]` sign is within 3 block horizontally or vertically from the gate.
61
* For larger gates, multiple `[Gate]` signs can control different sections.

## Troubleshooting
81
82
| Issue | Cause/Resolution |
83
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
84
| Gate doesn’t move | Ensure the sign is within 3 block of the gate |
85
| Only part of the gate moves | Check for block obstructions or invalid layout |
86
| Doesn’t respond to redstone | Ensure redstone reaches the correct block/sign |
