Linking Fences, Walls, and Iron Bars with Stretched Chains

Connecting Posts

To link your structures together, you only need standard vanilla chain items in your inventory. This system works between fences, stone walls, and iron bars.

1. Place a vanilla chain item into your main hand.

2. Aim at your starting anchor—a fence post, wall segment, or iron bar—and right-click it.

3. Move over to your target fence, wall, or iron bar.

4. Right-click the second anchor to stretch the chain across the gap.

Building Decorative Boundaries

Once linked, the chain renders across the open space, adding an atmospheric look to your builds. Stretched chains feature built-in collision detection, letting you enclose livestock, line garden paths, crisscross posts inside village wells, or block doorways inside houses. You can connect multiple chains between the same structures to create varied patterns and sturdy-looking barriers without needing special crafting tools.
