Fence

Fence is a wooden barrier block crafted from sticks.

Obtaining

Breaking

A fence drops itself when broken, whatever breaks it.

An axe is not effective against fences, and takes 3 seconds to break one, as a bare hand does.

Crafting

Usage

A fence blocks movement up to 1.5 blocks above its base, higher than a player or mob can jump. It fills its whole block space, whether or not it joins a neighbour.

A fence joins only to fences beside it.

A torch can be placed on top of a fence.

Fuel

A fence burns in a furnace for 300 ticks (15 seconds), long enough to smelt 1.5 items.

Behaviour

A fence can be placed only on a solid block or on another fence. It stays where it is if the block beneath it is later removed.

Fences burn, with an encouragement of 5 and a flammability of 20.
