Fence

Fences are blocks that were added in Update 0.2.0. They are used as barriers since most Mobs cannot jump over them.

Uses
The main use of the fence is to keep animals trapped in a certain location, and for decorational purposes. It can also be used as a barrier to the player's home to keep hostile mobs away.

Trivia

 * Before Update 0.10.0, only Oak Fences could be crafted.
 * However, after Update 0.10.0, all wooden types of fences were added.
 * Creepers will begin their countdown to exploding if the player is directly opposite to the fence, as they are technically in the same block.
 * Because Spiders have the ability to climb vertically up most objects, fences do not provide much safety from them.
 * Nether Brick Fences will be added in Update 0.12.1.
