Overview
Bamboo Fence is one of the 13 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Fence is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Bamboo Fence as a plant block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Bamboo Fence. Its hardness of 2 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Bamboo Planks and Stick.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the bamboo set
How long it takes to break
Bamboo Fence sits at hardness 2: 3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron takes 0.5 seconds against diamond's 0.4, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.5 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 3 s | 3 s | 3 s |
| Wooden | 1.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Stone | 0.75 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.5 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.4 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.35 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
Blast resistance on Bamboo Fence is 3, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. It is renewable, so one world can supply as much of it as you want. Fire takes to it quickly — encouragement 5, burn 20 — which makes it a poor neighbour for lava or a lit campfire. An axe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
