Aside from a basic front door, one of the best ways to protect your base or stop mobs from going anywhere is with a fence. The fence in Minecraft is quite powerful, as you can’t hop over it while standing on the ground, unlike many other blocks. To see how to craft a fence and the best way to use it, read the guide below.

Making a Fence in Minecraft

A fence is an extremely simple item to make once you know the recipe, as it only requires two basic resources to craft. You can see the crafting recipe for a basic fence below:

Silent Hill fans have a proper new game to look forward to soon, but before the Silent Hill 2 remake arrives this October, fans may want to check out Hollowbody, the latest in a long line of horror games made to look and play a lot like PS2-era greats such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

Ubisoft has released an updated Year One roadmap for its free-to-play shooter, XDefiant, highlighting important changes and new content coming down the road. The blog post also denies reports that XDefiant is dying, stating that the game is in a healthy state and that Ubisoft has provided additional resources to the team to fix some of the larger issues, like hit registration.

The blog post starts by addressing the issues players have been having with the hit registration in XDefiant, which doesn’t work as reliably as some other multiplayer shooters. The simplified explanation given is that currently packets are sent twice between players, but the industry standard is four times.
