Talk:Nether Brick Fence

Seriously, where do you see "fences"? | TheKax |  Talk   16:36, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

If you look at the brighter picture there are holes in the wall of the bridge, that appear to have a red fence-like block in them, you can see them above the pillar of the bridge.

Hold on...wood has a similar pattern to bricks, and fences are made of wood. It would make WAYYYYYY more sense if this was some kind of Netherwood. CDi-Fails 21:34, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Pillars, not fences
If these were fences, they'd connect since they're adjacent. These must therefore be a new "pillar" or "post" blocks.
 * Nope, look closely, there is neither brick between the posts, so there is no reason for them to connect.

Merge with Fence
It is a fence. The only difference is what it's made of. --Saphireking65 01:02, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Merging takes too much work. The fence article is already completely written with the wooden fence in mind. Adding the Nether Brick fence would require a rewrite, which is not recommended. - Asterick6 01:36, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Mob Blocking
"By alternating between Nether Brick Fences and regular fences, you can create a barrier that players can walk through but many mobs cannot."

"Many" mobs, as in most following you - but not all, or many as in say zombies and skeletons, but not spiders? Please elaborate.
 * Spiders will climb over the fences, but zombies, skeletons, creepers, and zombie pigmen all get stuck on it. Their pathfinding is currently (1.1) simple, and they won't go out of their way to walk through one of the gaps. The sections of each type of fence need to be at least 3-4 blocks long for this to work well. -- Orthotope 12:28, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
