How to Make Dark Oak Fence in Minecraft
Dark Oak Fence
Dark Oak Fence is a barrier block (a post linking to neighbouring solid blocks) with a 1.5-block-tall collision box that most mobs cannot jump.
Description
Dark Oak Fence sits in the centre of its block and connects to solid blocks and to other wooden fences, but not to Nether Brick Fence. The selection box is one block tall, yet the collision box reaches 1.5 blocks, so most mobs cannot jump over Dark Oak Fence without the Jump Boost effect, while spiders and camels still get across. Dark Oak Fence generates naturally as the supports of mineshafts in badlands biomes, and in woodland mansions and ancient cities.

Guide
How to build and use Dark Oak Fence in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the fences
A Crafting Table converts 4 Dark Oak Planks and 2 Sticks into 3 Dark Oak Fences in a single craft.
-
2
Place a row
Dark Oak Fence connects by itself to solid blocks and to other wooden fences beside it. A straight row of posts therefore becomes a continuous wall.
-
3
Close a pen
A collision box 1.5 blocks tall keeps most mobs inside a pen built from Dark Oak Fence. Most mobs need the Jump Boost effect to clear the wall, and spiders still climb across.
-
4
Tie up a mob
A Lead ties a mob to a Dark Oak Fence post.
A carpet or trapdoor placed on top of Dark Oak Fence lets players jump over, while zombies and other mobs stay blocked.
