A Nether brick fence is a Nether brick variant of fences used to form Nether fortresses in the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

Nether brick fences can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Usage

Nether brick fences are non-flammable and have the same blast resistance as most stone blocks. Nether brick fences have the same usages as regular fences to form barriers and attaching mobs with a lead.

Barrier

Nether brick fences connect to most blocks, including wooden fence gates, but not wooden fences.
