What is a Crimson Fence?

The Crimson Fence is a wooden block in Minecraft, introduced in the Nether Update (version 1.16). Crafted from crimson planks and sticks, it features a bold red and magenta hue, making it a standout decorative and functional barrier for builds. The Crimson Fence is commonly used in enclosures to keep mobs or animals secure while enhancing the visual appeal of Nether-themed or mystical structures. Its distinct color and texture make it ideal for creating unique and eye-catching designs.

Where Can Crimson Fences Be Found?

Crimson Fences do not generate naturally in Minecraft and must be crafted by players. To create one, players need four sticks and two Crimson Planks. In a crafting table, place the Crimson Planks on either side of the center column, with two sticks in between, to yield three Crimson Fences.

Crimson Planks, the primary material for crafting the fence, are made by processing Crimson Stems. Crimson Stems are harvested from crimson trees, which grow in the Crimson Forest biome of the Nether. This biome is characterized by its glowing vegetation, dense crimson fungi, and eerie ambiance. Players can efficiently gather Crimson Stems using an axe. For more details about crafting materials, visit the Crimson Planks article.

What Can Players Do with a Crimson Fence?

The Crimson Fence is primarily used to create secure enclosures, ensuring mobs and animals are contained while adding a dramatic visual element to builds. It is particularly effective in farms, pens, or defensive perimeters, as its height of 1.5 blocks prevents most mobs from jumping over it. For controlled access, players can pair Crimson Fences with a Crimson Fence Gate.

Decoratively, the Crimson Fence’s striking red tones make it a standout choice for builds inspired by the Nether, fantasy worlds, or gothic themes. It pairs seamlessly with other crimson wood blocks, such as Crimson Stairs and Crimson Doors, allowing for cohesive designs. The vibrant color of the Crimson Fence can also be used as an accent in more neutral builds, adding contrast and flair to structures.
