#### **Obtaining**

**Crafting** Grates comes in one (black) color.  
16 Grates can be crafted with 5 Iron Ingots and 4 bars (vanilla or [friendly](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian/page/friendly-bars)).

#### **Usage**

Grates function the same as a vanilla trapdoor, they can be right-click placed at the top or bottom of a block space, opened or closed and waterlogged. Grates can be used for many stable decoration and RRP purposes, we suggest:

- Drains in wash stalls and stalls
- Concealed access to hidden water sources
