How to Craft a Fence in Minecraft

To craft a fence in Minecraft you need four wooden planks of the same wood and two sticks. On the Crafting Table put plank, stick, plank on the top row and the same on the row under it, and three oak fences come out. Below are the items, the recipe, and where those pieces come from.

Wooden Planks

Shapeless: the slots can sit anywhere on the grid.

Four planks, two sticks

Punch an oak log and convert it in the inventory 2×2: one log is four planks, and those four cover the rails. Two more planks stacked make four sticks; take two. Keep the four planks the same wood — oak is the first tree in most worlds.

Two rows on the table

Open the Crafting Table. On the top row put a plank, a stick and a plank. Repeat that exact line on the middle row. Three oak fences appear on the right; take them. This shape needs the 3×3 table.

A line that holds a mob

Place them in a row and they snap to each other. The collision is a block and a half, so a cow or a zombie stays inside. Use a lead on a post to park a horse. Break a fence with an axe to pick it back up; they stack to sixty-four.
