Diagonal Fences Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I place a diagonal fence in Minecraft?
Place fences normally, then place another fence diagonally adjacent to an existing one so the two connect corner-to-corner instead of edge-to-edge. The mod automatically forms the diagonal connection when the blocks are positioned diagonally from each other.
Why won't my fences connect diagonally?
Diagonal connections only form between two fence posts placed on diagonally touching blocks, not across gaps or over other blocks. Make sure both fences are the same type and that nothing is blocking the corner between them.
Can I mix diagonal and normal fences in the same fence line?
Yes. A single fenced area can contain both ninety-degree and one hundred thirty-five-degree connections, so you can switch between straight runs and diagonal corners freely.
Do diagonal fences have proper collision?
Yes. The hitbox matches the visual shape of the fence, so diagonal sections block movement the same way straight sections do. You can walk along a diagonal fence line without slipping through the corner.
How do I make a diagonal corner for a pen or pasture?
Instead of meeting at a right angle, place the corner fence posts on diagonally adjacent blocks so they connect at one hundred thirty-five degrees. This lets you round off corners or follow terrain more naturally.
Does this mod work with fences from other mods?
Yes. The diagonal connection behavior applies to default fences and to fences added by other mods, as long as those fences use the standard fence connection system.
Can I use diagonal connections on glass panes and iron bars?
Yes, the same diagonal connection functionality can be applied to glass panes and iron bars. Place them diagonally adjacent the same way you would with fences to get the angled connection.
Do I need a special item or tool to place diagonal fences?
No. You use the same fence items you already have; the mod changes how they connect rather than adding new blocks. Just place them diagonally and the connection forms automatically.
Will diagonal fences break my existing builds or redstone?
Existing straight fence lines stay as they are unless you place fences diagonally. Redstone components like fence gates still work normally, but be aware that diagonal sections change the shape of the fence's collision and visual outline.
Does the Diagonal Fences Mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod mainly changes connection shapes and hitboxes, so performance impact is generally minimal. If you notice issues, it is usually from having a very large number of connected fence blocks in one area rather than from the diagonal feature itself.
