Diagonal Fences

by Fuzs

With Diagonal Fences installed, fence posts connect to neighbors placed diagonally, so corners and angled walls join without extra blocks.

What it does

Fences connect diagonally instead of only along the four cardinal directions. The change applies to fence blocks added by other mods wherever the mod can detect them, and a block tag named diagonalfences:non diagonal fences lets a server owner exclude specific blocks from the behavior.

The mod belongs to the Diagonal Blocks family. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, Forge Config API Port on Fabric, and Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge. Diagonal Fences is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 25 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Diagonal fence connections

    Fences join to adjacent fences placed on diagonal positions, producing smoother joins at angled sections.

  2. Modded fence support

    Fences added by other mods are included automatically when the mod can detect them.

  3. Exclusion tag

    The diagonalfences:non diagonal fences block tag lists blocks that should keep the vanilla connection rules.

  4. In-game configuration

    Options can be changed from an in-game mod menu when a menu mod is installed on Fabric, with config files in the game's config folder otherwise.
