Description
The acacia fence is a vertical wooden barrier made from acacia planks and sticks that matches the acacia wood style. It is commonly used to enclose animals to make pens to create garden borders or to add detail to buildings. The fence takes up less space visually than a solid wall and allows players and tamed animals to see through while still blocking hostile mobs and other players from walking through. Fences also create a small ledge that players and mobs cannot walk over unless they jump. The acacia fence connects automatically to nearby fences walls and gates to form continuous barriers and can be topped with slabs or carpet for decorative effects. Because it is a wooden object it is vulnerable to fire but it is an affordable building material in many survival games. Fences also affect mob behavior because mobs cannot simply walk through them making them useful for controlling movement paths and protecting crops. Builders often use acacia fences where they want a warm toned wood fence that matches acacia planks and doors so the finished structure looks consistent. The fence is practical for farms stables and outdoor decoration and it is easy to craft and replace when damaged.
What is Acacia Fence?
The acacia fence is a wooden barrier block that players place to enclose areas or control movement. It looks like a small railing and connects to other fence pieces to create long continuous barriers. The fence stops most mobs and players from walking straight through which makes it handy for pens and protective borders around a base. It also allows partial visibility through the gaps which is useful for watching animals or the surrounding area while still keeping them contained. The acacia fence keeps the same wood tone as acacia planks so it is a natural choice in savanna themed builds.
Where to find Acacia Fence
The acacia fence is not something that spawns in the wild by itself. Instead it is crafted by players using acacia planks and sticks which come from acacia trees. Those trees grow naturally in the savanna family of biomes so you will find the raw material there. In savanna villages builders often use local wood and you may see fences in player or village structures built from the local material. Otherwise fences appear in player made farms gardens and ranches where they are used for functional and decorative reasons.
How to get Acacia Fence
To get acacia fence collect acacia logs from trees in savanna biomes then convert the logs to planks. Use the planks to craft sticks and then use four sticks and two planks in the crafting table to make three fence blocks. In creative mode the acacia fence is available directly from the building menu. Fences can also be found in some player built structures or obtained by trading or looting depending on the map but crafting is the most common method.

How to use Acacia Fence
Place acacia fence blocks next to each other to create an enclosed area. They will connect to each other and to gates to form a continuous barrier. Use fence gates to create entrances that allow players and villagers to pass through while keeping animals inside. Place torches or lanterns on fence posts for lighting and to reduce hostile mob spawns at night. Because fences block movement but allow sight you can use them to let you observe animals or crops while keeping them secure. Combine fences with slabs and stairs for decorative posts or supports to improve the look of your builds.
