Fence Posts
by justfatlard
Fence Posts, a Fabric mod, lets a fence or wall post stand alone as its own block, with half-height post slabs for finer building.
What it does
Standalone posts are added for fences and walls, and each comes with half-height slab variants that sit in the lower half of a block space. Posts can be stacked, and the mod covers 13 fences and 25 walls from vanilla. Post slabs take the materials of the block they are crafted from and support waterlogging.
Mixed Slabs, when installed alongside, lets a post slab leave one half empty and fill the other with a different slab. Fence Leads make it possible to click a fence while holding a lead and tie a second fence to it, so a lead can run from one fence to another, with a chicken or boat held in place as well. Players without the mod still see the new blocks, but the server needs to run it, and Fabric API is required.
The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 across 13 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 3.0.1 for 26.3, released 2026-10-14. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Standalone fence posts
A post can be placed by itself, in the same spot a fence or wall would occupy, and stacked to build taller columns.
Half-height post slabs
Each post comes with a half-height slab variant that matches the material it was crafted from.
Mixed slab halves
With Mixed Slabs installed, a post slab can hold a different slab in its other half.
Lead tying between fences
Clicking a fence while holding a lead ties it to another fence, so a lead can be run between posts.

How it compares
Fence Jump Plus is a Fabric client-side only mod under the MIT License, covering 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, and it is not open source. Jump Over Fences is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.12.2 – 26.2. Fence Posts needs both sides, so it differs from these two in environment.
