Fences as blast shields
While building my Nether fortress, I noticed that Ghast shots do not blow up my fences. Could anyone confirm that fences cannot be destroyed by the Ghasts' fireballs ? -228.zip, 19:42 20 December 2010 (UTC +1)

I made a test and i confirm this. The fireballs destroyed the terrain under the fence, but the fence is ok.--TheDekuLink 12:53, 20 December 2010 (CST)


 * Fence can be destroyed, but not every time. I also made a test. See explosion for more information. Xfs 20:32, 27 December 2010 (CST)

Grass growth
It seems that if fence is placed on top of dirt, it won't turn into grass. Removing the fence, waiting a few minutes for the dirt to change, then putting the fence back seems to solve the problem. Ghost2 23:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Standing on top of fences
I noticed in SSP just now that I am able to stand, and even walk, on fences. My avatar is simply walking up them as if they were stairs. Is this recent? I seem to remember that this wasn't possible before. LTK 70 21:50, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been possible to walk on fences in SSP for quite some time, you just get on top of them (since they act 1.5 blocks tall for collision purposes). --Lordebon 23:04, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Invisible Fences over cliffs?
I created a balcony made of planks on a high cliff, and when attempting to line the edge of the balcony with fences they were invisible. Fences at that altitude when placed on grass still render, and even placed on floating wood render, but for some reason on the balcony with a sheer drop they do not. Has anyone else noticed this?

 * I haven't noticed it myself, but I do know there is a GetSatisfaction thread about invisible fences, you could try looking for answers there:

Mobs jumping fences
I've noticed multiple times during game play that, when you hit any kind of mob, friendly or hostile, you can actually send it over a fence. I have done this multiple times with cows, sheep, and pigs and it never fails to work. I've also found that, if a spider wants to get you and the only thing in it's path is a fence, even if the fence is on a wall with no lip, the spider can actually manage to jump over it. Is this a glitch, or, at least, is the spider thing a glitch? Obviously there are plenty of ways to keep spiders from getting to you but is 1 row of fencing not supposed to be effective?

Updating
It's Feb 26th, has anyone seen if the multiplayer bug has been fixed? If so, we just need to update the page as it says "which is due feb 22"
