Building with it

An Oak Fence is four planks and two sticks for three fences, and it stands a block and a half high, so mobs cannot jump it even though it looks like one block. That is the whole point of a fence: it pens animals, lines a path and lets you lead a horse without a wall.

In practice

Oak fence is the first fence most players build, since oak planks are on hand from the first day. Six sticks and planks give three, and a pen built from them keeps cows and sheep in without a single block of stone.
