This is something ive thought of for awhile, it would be really nice if this could be done so I dont have to put a door everywhere that I dont want people to go, like on my garden, the door looks really out of place but its the only way to keep people out. Not sure if its possible to do this or not but from talking to other people I know its something that a lot of other players would utilize.

I've been wanting the same thing myself. I have several places that are fenced off to keep other players out and you're right, doors look pretty stupid as a fence gate.

This is more than possible. Check out this video. I'm not 100% on the permissions so you may have to ask a mod to make the IC signs

That video is REALLY old.

I think it's a great idea; I'm always concerned with getting locked out of my own buildings due to someone else closing my gate from the inside lol

Actually Yield, I dont think he meant those gates, or at least I didnt. The small craftable fence gate blocks cant be privatized, so if you want to block off an area using a fence you have to use a door, which doesnt blend in like the gate block does and just looks ugly.

Yea I meant the craftable gates

Do you mean /cprivate on FenceGates, Buttons, and Levers?

False, not only can ANY block be added to LWC, but also as of December 25th fence gates are now able to be set to private by DEFAULT on a new LWC installation. Why would you state otherwise?

For buttons and levers you can do /credstone

I think...

My mistake then I guess. Any time I tried to privatize a gate there is no message saying it was successful like you get with doors and chests, so I just assumed that they couldnt be privatized.
