Usage

Template:Main Wooden fences have the same usages as nether brick fences to form barriers and attaching mobs with a lead.

Barrier

File:FenceConnectivity.png

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).

Wooden fences connect to other wooden fences, but do not connect to Nether brick fences. However, Nether brick fences connect to wooden Minecraft:fence gates.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Fuel

Overworld wooden fences can be used as Minecraft:fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.
