A fence is a special barrier block in Minecraft that is 1.5 blocks tall, which means neither mobs nor players can jump over it. This makes it an ideal way to secure your farm. It is visually transparent and automatically connects to adjacent fences, creating a clean and aesthetic line of fencing. Wooden fences naturally generate in villages, mineshafts, woodland mansions, and shipwrecks. Using this type of block is a great way to protect yourself from hostile mobs and to build bases that are both functional and visually subtle.
How to make Wooden Fence in Minecraft
To craft a wooden fence, you need two basic resources:
- 4 wooden planks
- 2 sticks
By placing this combination in a crafting table, you will get 3 fences.
Wooden planks are obtained from tree logs, which naturally generate in various biomes. To get them, simply chop down a tree, place the log into the crafting table, and convert it into planks – one log gives you 4 planks.
Sticks are made by placing 2 wooden planks vertically in the crafting table. From one pair of planks, you get 4 sticks.

How to make Nether Brick Fence in Minecraft
To create a Nether Brick fence, you first need to obtain Nether Bricks. These are obtained by smelting blocks of Netherrack in a furnace – one block of Netherrack gives you one Nether Brick (the item). Combining four Nether Bricks (items) in a crafting table gives you one Nether Bricks block. Once you have enough materials, combine 4 Nether Bricks and 2 Nether Brick blocks to craft the fence. This type of block is non-flammable, and its design pairs well with other blocks from the Nether dimension, such as basalt, blackstone, or soul sand.
Regardless of the chosen building style or biome, this simple structural element is one of the most important tools for protection and spatial organization. Thanks to its various material versions, it can be adapted to any aesthetic – from a rustic farm to a harsh fortress. Its durability, functionality, and ease of placement make it hard to imagine a well-designed base without this type of barrier.
