About this Mod

ONE WAY GATES

One way gates is a simple mod that makes farm animals only able to enter but not exit fence gates in minecraft!

Gates open towards the side the doors face, hence mobs can enter from normal side to door side, but cannot exit from door side to normal side

This only works on animals, mobs and even monsters - All Living Entities except the Player

The animals can exit only if they are manually leashed and taken out, or only if the gate is broken!

Thank you!!
