Gathering the Materials
To begin with the fence-making first of all you have to gather the necessary materials. For this at least you need 2 sticks and 2 wooden blocks. The color of the fence will be determined by the wood you are going to select.
2 Wooden Planks
There are different types of wooden planks included in Minecraft. You can use any wooden plank of these types to create your fence. Some of the wooden planks to find in Minecraft are oak, spruce, birch, jungle, dark oak, crimson, bamboo, etc.
2 sticks
This is the other important component of your fence. These sticks are also easily available. You can create the sticks by breaking down the wood blocks or else you can harvest them from younger trees known as saplings.
Crafting the Fence
After gathering the necessary materials, you can start crafting your fence. For this first, you have to create fence blocks. There are two main ways to create your fence blocks. Using craft tables and inventory crafting. Here describe the two ways and the choice is yours to select the best option for you.
Crafting Table
Open the crafting table
To begin with, open the crafting table. This is a useful block that helps you in creating many elements in the gameplay including fences, swords, armor, etc. Normally you can find this crafting table near the furnace in the shelters. By right-clicking the crafting table you can open the crafting table.
Place your materials
Once it is opened you can see a 3X3 crafting table. Place your materials in this crafting table as below.
- 2 wood planks in the first row
- 2 sticks in the second row

Craft and move the fence to inventory
You can see the fence block on the right side of the crafting table. This will result in 1 fence block. Move this fence to your Inventory by clicking on that.
Inventory Crafting
This is a quick course to follow when creating fence blocks.
Open the inventory
Open the inventory within the Minecraft gameplay.
Create your fence
Find the inventory crafting grid. This is smaller than the crafting table with a 2X2 grid. Place 2 wood planks and 2 sticks in a 2×2 square directly in your inventory crafting grid. This will also yield 1 fence block.
Both these methods will yield 1 fence block. Repeat these procedures to create as many as fence blocks you want.
Building Your Fence
Once you finish crafting fence blocks you can start building your protective barrier. Take good use of these fence blocks to protect your creations.
Select the fence block
Make sure to select the needed fence block from the hotbar. You can explore this hotbar using the scroll wheel. Or else you can use number keys from 1 to 9.
