What Do You Need to Build a Fence?
Before diving into the process itself, it’s important to gather the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, or crimson planks
- Sticks
Step 1: Crafting the Fence
The first step is to craft the fence itself. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open your crafting table by right-clicking on it.
- In the crafting table’s 3×3 grid, place 4 planks in the grid’s bottom row and 2 sticks in the middle row, leaving the top row empty. This will result in 3 fences.
- Drag the fences into your inventory.
Step 2: Placing the Fences
Now that you have crafted your fences, it’s time to place them. Follow these steps:
- Select the fences from your hotbar.
- Choose the desired location for your fence by right-clicking on the block where you want to start the fence.
- Move along the boundary you want to enclose and right-click on each block until you reach the endpoint of your fence.
Remember, fences can only be placed in a straight line, and they cannot bend or go diagonally.
Step 3: Adding a Fence Gate (Optional)
If you want to add a gate to your fence, follow these steps:
- Craft a fence gate by placing 4 planks in the top and bottom row of the crafting table’s 3×3 grid, leaving the middle row empty. This will result in 1 fence gate.
- Place the fence gate in your desired location by right-clicking on the block next to your fence.
- To open or close the gate, right-click on it.
Step 4: Customizing Your Fence
If you’re feeling creative, you can customize your fence by using different types of wood or combining different types of fences together. This will give your creation a unique look!
