How to Make Nether Brick Wall in Minecraft
Nether Brick Wall
Nether Brick Wall is a decorative wall block (a slim vertical barrier) crafted from six Nether Bricks for fortress-style battlements and railings in Minecraft.
Description
Mining Nether Brick Wall calls for a pickaxe: any pickaxe works, and mining without a pickaxe drops nothing at all. Nether Brick Wall is not flammable, cannot be set alight by lava, and accepts waterlogging (water shares the block space), so moats and canals flow straight through fortress parapets. Since Java Edition 1.16, vertically stacked Nether Brick Walls leave no gaps, letting tall curtain walls read as solid masonry. For red accents on the same silhouette, Minecraft also offers Red Nether Brick Wall.

Guide
How to craft and use Nether Brick Wall in Minecraft
-
1
Collect Nether Bricks
Mine Nether Bricks from the walls and pillars of a nether fortress, or craft the block from four Nether Brick items in a 2x2 square. Any pickaxe works for mining.
-
2
Craft six walls at once
Place six Nether Bricks in two horizontal rows of three on the crafting grid. One craft yields six Nether Brick Walls.
-
3
Cut single walls at the stonecutter
Put one Nether Bricks block into a stonecutter to receive one Nether Brick Wall. The 1:1 ratio matches crafting, useful when only one or two walls are needed.
-
4
Mine only with a pickaxe
Break Nether Brick Wall with any pickaxe to collect the block. Nether Brick Wall broken without a pickaxe drops nothing.
-
5
Build with water
Nether Brick Wall is waterloggable (water can share the block space), so place walls directly inside moats and canals to keep water flowing.
Since Java Edition 1.16 and Bedrock 1.16.0, Nether Brick Wall stacks vertically with no gaps, so tall curtain walls and battlements read as solid masonry.
