Block Change Request: Expanded Wood Fence Gates

Request: Expanded Wood Fence Gates

Request Type: General Addition

Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes.
Fence gates are used as supports and for detailing and despite having full sets and being used extensively Northern, Grey, and White wood sets have no fence gate variants. This issue is seen in more recent builds like Maidenpool and the KL Remaster which have mismatched wood sets in their facades and detailing. At the very least a northern wood variant is needed since it is the most commonly used.

In the images below you can see spruce fence gates being used as supports with the Northern wood sets. There are also images demonstrating the uses of fence gates and the wood sets which do not have fence gates.

Already on it Red is currently working on adding a fence gate block model to WesterosBlocks, so I'll probably port them all over to custom blocks once that's done.

Could part of this port to WC blocks add the functionallity of having them float. Currently you have to place them on top of a block which is tedious.

I’d like to float the idea of adding a block to represent a cantilever beam which could replace those use cases of fence gates. Fence gates are probably the most meaning-laden block we have and also the most troublesome because anyone can toggle their state.

I’ve identified about 10 different uses for it here. There could be more, and I think their use as an actual fence gate is the rarest.

I'm not going to make any further attempts into what I suggested above. Emoticone11 feel free to go on as you would!
