Description

Cherry Fence is a wooden fence crafted from four cherry planks and two sticks, and each craft yields three fences. Cherry Fence has been part of regular Java Edition and Bedrock Edition worlds since version 1.20. Cherry Fence is renewable, stacks to 64, and breaks fastest with an axe. Since Java Edition 26.3, abandoned camps in cherry groves also generate with Cherry Fence.

Cherry Fence has a collision box (the area that stops entities) 1.5 blocks tall, so players cannot jump over a post and most mobs cannot either without the Jump Boost effect. Spiders can climb Cherry Fence like any vertical object, and camels can walk over fences without trouble. Cherry Fence connects automatically to solid blocks and to other wooden fences beside the post. A Lead tied to Cherry Fence holds a mob in place.
