"That’s the cleverest thing I’ve seen today": Minecraft player shares trick to make diagonal fences without using mods

Minecraft has always seen players develop some of the most unique builds and ideas using the array of resources available. While some have focused on mega builds and testing the game's limits, others try to solve problems without the help of mods. The community is filled with creative thinkers who defy the rules and find workarounds for the most complex problems in the simplest of ways.

Redditor Ok-Annual-4108 came up with a brilliant step-by-step guide to make diagonal fences without needing mods or mod packs. They posted sequential images and the final result, leaving the Minecraft community utterly stunned.

Reacting to this post, Historical_Item4050 could not help but admit how smart a move this is.

_Scootyman_ couldn't believe that such a smart build with the armor stand could be made in vanilla Minecraft, not to mention in survival mode. The unique build can be easily replicated using materials that can be crafted in survival mode.

Many Redditors, including Traveling_Chef, greatly appreciated the unique and quirky design that allowed the diagonal placement of the fences in Minecraft. They were also thankful to OP for providing a slideshow that could help them replicate this build in their worlds:

Redditors u/Incomplet_1-34 celebrated the fact that this build could be done in vanilla instances without the need for using commands. abuttfarting stated that crafty builds like these are the reason they stay active in this community despite not playing the game for years:

On the other hand, a few Redditors engaged in witty banter, referring to the armor stands being the usual suspect whenever such clever builds come up in the community. One user even referenced the famous meme from the Harry Potter meme when the infamous trio was being blamed:

Most players and Redditors were stunned by OP's clever hack of creating this diagonal fence in Minecraft. Armor stands are one of the most versatile items in-game, and players have found unique ways to repurpose it to create custom items like this diagonal fence.

Diagonal fences are a much-requested feature that can currently be implemented through mods and mod packs. But this clever hack has come as a boon for the vanilla purists who do not wish to taint their gameplay with Minecraft mods or custom additions.

Who are vanilla players in Minecraft?

Vanilla players are essentially those players who play the official, unmodified versions of Minecraft. They are purists who believe that mods, resource packs, or even texture packs are cheats and not an actual part of the game.

Despite the existence of hundreds of thousands of mods and customizations, many players prefer to play the original game due to the host of updates and drops like the Pale Garden that Mojang continually provides.
