Description

Bamboo Fence is a wooden barrier crafted from four Bamboo Planks and two Sticks: two rows of Bamboo Planks, Stick, Bamboo Planks on a Crafting Table give an output of three fence blocks. Bamboo Fence looks one block tall, but a collision box (the area that stops entities) 1.5 blocks tall stops most mobs, which cannot jump that height without the Jump Boost effect. Bamboo Fence connects automatically to solid blocks and to other wooden fences, while a Nether Brick Fence stays unconnected. Bamboo Fence has been available in Java Edition and Bedrock Edition since 1.20.

Bamboo Fence breaks fastest with an axe, drops with any tool, and stacks to 64. Bamboo Fence is flammable: fire burns the posts and lava sets them alight. A Lead ties a mob to a Bamboo Fence post, a setup that suits animal pens because most mobs cannot clear 1.5 blocks of height.

Guide

How to craft and place Bamboo Fence in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients

    Four Bamboo Planks and two Sticks make one batch of Bamboo Fence.

  2. 2

    Craft the fences

    A Crafting Table takes two rows, each holding Bamboo Planks, a Stick, and Bamboo Planks from left to right, and the result slot then holds three Bamboo Fence blocks.

  3. 3

    Place the posts

    Each Bamboo Fence post joins neighboring solid blocks and other wooden fences automatically.

  4. 4

    Tie a mob

    A Lead attached to a Bamboo Fence post holds a mob in place.

Joining two fence types

A Bamboo Fence Gate placed between a Bamboo Fence run and a Nether Brick Fence run links both, because Nether Brick Fence connects to wooden fence gates.
