How to Craft Oak Fence in Minecraft

Oak Fence in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Animal pens. Minecraft has used the name Oak Fence since 1.8.

The bill for Oak Fences is 4 Oak Planks and 2 Sticks, and the work happens at a Crafting Table. The grid takes four Oak Planks in the left and right columns and two Sticks filling the middle column. That comes out as 3 Oak Fences. Short on coal? 300 ticks each means 43 Oak Fences smelt 64 items.

Oak Fence Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Oak Fence is minecraft:oak_fence. In commands the namespace may be left off, so oak_fence works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p oak_fence
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p oak_fence 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve oak_fence 1

Cheats have to be on for Oak Fence to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Oak Fences act as 1.5-block-tall barriers. Mobs cannot jump over them. Used for animal pens and property boundaries. Oak Fence uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

Minecraft has used the name Oak Fence since 1.8, the oldest release whose language file lists it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with oak planks (craft from oak logs) and stick (craft from planks).

Per Stack

Work a stack down, 64 oak planks, and you land on 48 oak fences. Bring 32 sticks along for the ride. Craft 16 takes the last oak planks, with nothing spare.
