Creating a fence in Minecraft is a simple and easy process. To craft a fence, the player needs to create fence blocks in the game. There are 2 methods to craft a fence:

  • 1–Inventory Crafting.
  • 2–Using a craft table.

Using crafting table

The crafting table is the most useful component in creating a fence in Minecraft. Crafting table options can be found in shelters near the furnace. To open the crafting table, just right-click on the crafting table.

  • Open the craft table and place the following material in 3×3 grids of the crafting table.
  • Place the 2 sticks in the middle columns (mid-row and bottom row).
  • Now, place 4 wooden planks on either side of the sticks.
  • Collect the fences from the right-side output slot.

Using Inventory Crafting (2×2 Grid)

A fence cannot be directly created using the 2X2 crafting grid. But you can use it to craft a crafting table first; then, you can create a fence with that crafting table. If you are using Minecraft Mods, you can customize it accordingly.

  • Punch any tree to get wood logs.
  • Now open your inventory by pressing the button “E.”
  • Place 1 log into the 2X2 crafting grid.
  • It will give you 4 wooden planks.
  • In a 2X2 grid, place all the planks.
  • This will give you 1 crafting table.

Now drag it into your hot bar and place it in the world, and you are ready to create a fence with the 3X3 crafting method.

Tips:

  • Use the same type of wood to match your style of building
  • For easy access, combine fences with fence gates.
  • Mobs cannot jump over the fences because fences are 1.5 blocks tall.

If creating a Fence in Minecraft seems difficult for you, you can simple find Fences already built somewhere and extract them using a pickaxe to extract them. Fences do not fell apart if smashed by an axe or pickaxe.
