Description
Birch fences are crafted in a 3×2 arrangement of four birch planks and two sticks, yielding three pieces per recipe. Two stick columns are sandwiched between birch plank pairs in the middle row. Wood type is preserved on the output, so the bright pale grain of the planks carries over to the fence.
Like every wooden fence the block is one full block tall to entities that try to walk over it, but only counts as 1.5 blocks of vertical clearance for the player, which prevents passive mobs from jumping the perimeter while still letting the player vault from a stair onto a fence top. Two adjacent fences automatically connect, and a fence gate matching the wood type swings as the intended door.
Fire spreads to and from the block since it is wooden, so a fence around a campfire farm or a torchless wheat plot needs a buffer of dirt or stone if the player wants long-term safety. Fences accept leashes, which lets a birch perimeter double as a tether point for boats, horses and mules in a stable build.
