Minecraft is a popular sandbox game where players can build and explore virtual worlds. One common element in Minecraft building is the fence. Fences can be used for a variety of purposes like keeping animals enclosed or marking the boundaries of your property.
How to Make a Fence in Minecraft
In this article, we will guide you on how to make a fence in Minecraft.
1. Gather the necessary materials

To make a fence, you will need the following materials:
- 4 wooden planks: You can use any type of wooden planks, such as oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, or dark oak.
- 2 sticks: Sticks can be obtained by placing 2 wooden planks vertically in the crafting table.
2. Open the crafting table

To open the crafting table, right-click on it. This will bring up a 3×3 crafting grid.
3. Arrange the materials

In the crafting grid, place 2 sticks in the middle column of the bottom row. Then, place 4 wooden planks, one in each corner of the grid.
The crafting grid should look like this:
| | S | |
| | S | |
| P | P | P |
(Note: “S” represents sticks, and “P” represents wooden planks)
4. Collect the fence

After arranging the materials correctly in the crafting grid, you will see a fence appear in the result box of the crafting table. Simply drag the fence into your inventory to collect it.

To place the fence in your Minecraft world, select it from your inventory and right-click on the block where you want to place it. The fence will automatically connect to other nearby fences, creating a continuous barrier.
Additional Tips:
- You can use different types of wooden planks to create fences with different appearances. Experiment with different wood types to find the one that suits your building style.
- Fences can also be used as fence gates to allow easy access through your fence. To create a fence gate, use the same materials as the fence but arrange the sticks in the left and right columns of the middle row in the crafting grid, and place 2 wooden planks in the left and right columns of the top row.
And that’s it! You now know how to make a fence in Minecraft. Use this knowledge to enhance your builds, protect your livestock, or divide your Minecraft world into different areas. Enjoy your Minecraft adventures!
