How to Make a Fence in Minecraft
In this Minecraft tutorial, we will detail how to make a fence in a few easy steps.
Fencing is very useful for preventing mobs from entering your base or restricting farm animals from escaping! You can also use it to create unique furniture and expand your creativity a bit.
HOW TO MAKE A FENCE
To make a fence in Minecraft, you need to collect wood, create planks, create sticks, and then combine the sticks with several wooden planks to create a fence! We will guide you through this step by step below.
Step 1: Chop some wood
The first thing you need is some wood! So, find a tree of almost any type and either beat it or chop it with an axe. After you have collected a tree or two logs, you can create several planks.
Step 2: Building the boards
Planks can be crafted by placing firewood in the crafting area of your inventory or on a crafting table. You will receive 4 planks of the type of log you place in it for each!
Step 3: Making the Sticks
Now we need to create some sticks! Go to your crafting area or Crafting Table and place the wooden planks on top of each other! You will receive four sticks for every two boards added.
Step 4: Create a fence
Now that we have the sticks, we need to assemble them together with the wooden planks to create the fence! For this part, you'll need a Crafting Table, so make sure you craft one. Now take four wooden planks and sticks and place them like this:
For every four wooden planks and two sticks, you will get three wooden fence sections! Create as many railing spans as you want for your project.
Step 5: Building a Fence
Once you have enough fencing, go ahead and place it on your toolbox. Select it and start placing like any other block! You can form a fence of any shape and length, the main thing is that you have enough resources for this.
You will probably want to leave at least one gap so that you can place the gate!
Step 6: Create a Wooden Gate
Creating a wooden gate is easy because we can use all the same parts as for the fence! The only difference is that we use a slightly different number of sticks and boards. For the gate, simply place four sticks and two wooden planks as shown below!
If you wish, you can make a second gate to place on the opposite side of your fence to leave another path to enter.
Step 7: Finish the Fence!
Place this gate in a slot in your fence and you now have a fully functional fence area! Place a few animals inside and you can start your own little farm.
Fencing is also a great way to separate parts of your base or just keep mobs outside so they can't attack you or your animals.
