Potato Fence

This article documents an April Fools' Day joke.

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.

A potato fence is a potato variant of a fence, crafted from the respective potato planks. It is only present in 24w14potato.

Obtaining

Breaking

Potato fences can be broken with anything, but axes are faster.

↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Mining efficiency.

Natural generation

Potato fences generate naturally as part of potato villages, potato mineshafts, as well as in arboretum and fields biomes.

Usage

Sounds

This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.

Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.

`nether_wood` sound type
Sound	Closed captions	Source	Description	Identifier	Translation key	Volume	Pitch	Attenuation distance
	Block broken	Blocks	Once the block has broken	`block.nether_wood.break`	`subtitles.block.generic.break`	1.0	0.72	16
	Block placed	Blocks	When the block is placed	`block.nether_wood.place`	`subtitles.block.generic.place`	1.0	0.72	16
	Block breaking	Blocks	While the block is in the process of being broken	`block.nether_wood.hit`	`subtitles.block.generic.hit`	0.25	0.45	16
