This article is about the general overview of fences. For the fence-like barrier made out of stone types, see Wall. For the openable fence, see Fence Gate.

All fences until Java Edition 26.3 and Bedrock Edition 26.50.

A fence is a barrier block that cannot normally be jumped over, similar to a wall. Unlike a wall, a player (but not mobs) can see through the openings in a fence.

Barrier

[edit | edit source]
👁 Image
Wooden fences and Nether brick fences connected by fence gates. Notice that they do not form a connection directly between the two types of fences (in the middle).

While fences appear to be a single block tall and have a hitbox height of one block, their collision box (for entities) is 1.5 blocks tall, meaning most mobs cannot jump over them without the Jump Boost status effect. They are transparent to light and have visual gaps in the model. Spiders can climb over a fence, just like any other vertical object. Camels can walk over fences.

A fence occupies the center space of blocks and automatically connects to any solid block that is placed next to it. Wooden fences connect to other wooden fences, but do not connect to Nether brick fences. However, Nether brick fences connect to wooden fence gates.[1] Mobs cannot pass between Nether brick fences and wooden fences, although players can.

Additionally, if a carpet, trapdoor, moss carpet or pale moss carpet is placed above a fence, players are able to jump over the fence while other mobs are unable to, including mobs like zombies with similar attributes to players.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Fence" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • If a carpet is placed on top of a fence, a player can jump onto the carpet, while mobs cannot (except rabbits and camels).
    • Placing a carpet on top of a fence does not reduce the fence or wall collision box down to one block, it just provides a platform one block high around the fence/wall to make it easier for climbing on the top of the fence.
  • Getting hit by someone else (or shooting themselves with a Punch enchanted bow while sprinting forward) while in midair can cause the knockback to propel the player over a fence they would not be able to jump over normally.
  • Projectiles get stuck in the collision box of the fence and remain there if shot from above.
