Fence Gate Fix
by Eiim
Fence Gate Fix corrects how fence gates connect to walls, so gates line up with the walls around them.
What it does
Normally a fence gate joins a wall visually, but its model sits three pixels lower than the rest of the gate, and a line of three or more gates does not adjust the ones in the middle. The mod handles this with a simple approach: it counts neighboring fence gates and walls that carry the wall tag, then changes the gate model when that detection calls for it. Rows of two or more gates no longer shift downward on their own.
The mod is a server-side Fabric addition for versions 1.16 and newer, and only the server needs it installed. A client without the mod may briefly show a wrong state for a fence gate after placing it, because its local configuration makes a guess before the server sends the update. Players who have the mod installed avoid that short stutter. Fence gates opened or closed next to the gate get corrected as well, and the leftover visual issues fade when a player is missing the mod, with no effect on how the game works.
Fence Gate Fix is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files exist for 1.16 – 26.3, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file, published on 2026-03-24 after a first release on 2026-01-28.
Key features
Wall connection fix
Fence gates connect to adjacent walls with the correct model height, instead of sitting three pixels low.
Middle gate correction
Gates in the middle of a line of three or more are adjusted as well, so the whole row looks consistent.
Neighbor-based detection
The mod counts neighboring fence gates and walls tagged as walls to decide which model a gate should use.
Server-side operation
Only the server runs the fix, and players without the mod see just brief, temporary visual differences.

How it compares
WallsNStuff is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and open source under the MIT License, so it adds different content than a connection fix. Macaw's Fences and Walls covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 26.3, with a client and server environment and the MIT License. Lead Fences is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric 1.21.8 – 26.3, so it shares this mod's server-side approach while adding a different set of blocks.

What the author says
A simple server-side Fabric mod for 1.16+ to improve the interaction between fence gates and walls. Normally, fence gates that connect to walls have their model visually shifted down three pixels to fit better. However, if there's a line of three or more fence gates, it doesn't adjust the ones in the middle. This mod…
