Can Villagers use fence gates?
I have managed to trap most of my villagers in houses that have the back "patio" area of the house (the small fenced off area out the back of the house).
Unfortunately, now I have to break the fence every time I want to get in and trade with them. So I was wondering; can villagers use fence gates like a door to enter/leave an area?
Best Answer
No. Villagers can only open and close wooden doors, but they cannot open and close fence gates. You can, of course, set up a fence gate, but the villagers may try to escape through that opening when you open the fence gate. A better way to trade with villagers is to set up a booth-like thing:
F-Fence V=Villager
FFF FFF
FVFFFFVF
FVVVVVVF
FFFFFFFF
This way, they cannot escape and you can still trade with them.

Answer 2
No, they can't.
They cannot use any mechanism without the help of redstone or stuff like pressure plates for wooden doors.
Answer 3
No. Villagers can not open gates but can open doors. I built a house and villagers kept walking in, so I decided to put a fence gate in front of the door when you walk in. Although this helped a lot I happened to get villagers in some rooms of the house from time to time.
