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.
- The Nether Brick Fence wasn't present in the game until it was added through Update 0.12.1, though.
Creepers will begin their countdown to exploding if the Player is directly opposite to the Fence, as they are technically in the same block.
Nether Brick Fences are the only type of Fences that aren't made out of wood, and do not have a Fence Gate counterpart.
Because Spiders have the ability to climb vertically up most objects, Fences do not provide much safety from them.
Nether Brick Fences will not join with any other kind of fence, thus allowing the player to create gates that only the Player and small mobs can pass through.
The Nether Brick Fence's texture was brightened after Update 0.14.2.
Large Magma Cubes can jump over Fences.
The Player cannot jump over the Fence; however, it is possible to jump over a fence with a Potion of Leaping in effect.
If the Player runs into a Fence until they cannot move, and then exits and re-enters the world, the Player will be standing on the Fence.
Fences can be used by the Player to create an Airlock under Water.
When a Carpet is placed on a Fence, the Fence will act like an ordinary block, thereby allowing the Player to jump onto it. However, Mobs cannot climb onto it until the Carpet is removed.
