Andesite Wall

What is an Andesite Wall?

An Andesite Wall is a decorative and functional block in Minecraft that acts as a barrier while allowing visibility. It has the smooth, gray texture of Andesite and is commonly used for fencing, fortifications, and aesthetic landscaping. Unlike full blocks, walls provide a slightly more open design while still preventing mob movement.
