How to Craft Spruce Fence in Minecraft

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

Spruce Fences cost you 4 Spruce Planks and 2 Sticks, put together at a Crafting Table. Place them as four Spruce Planks in the left and right columns and two Sticks filling the middle column. Done once, that is 3 Spruce Fences. As fuel these are worth 300 ticks apiece: 43 of them clear a stack of 64.
