Building with it

A Dark Oak Fence is the darkest wooden fence, which makes it the usual pick for a boundary that should look solid. It joins with its neighbours automatically, stands a block and a half tall for jumping purposes, and holds a lead like every other fence in the game.

In practice

Dark oak fences are two blocks tall to mobs while staying one block high for the player, which is what makes any fence work as a pen. The dark timber suits a roofed forest build, where the fence disappears into the trees rather than outlining them. Fences count as one and a half blocks for pathing, so mobs cannot cross them even though the player sees a one block barrier. Dark oak makes the darkest fence line, which disappears into a roofed forest instead of cutting a pale line through it.
