Usage

Main article: Fence § 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.
