Diagonal Fences is a mod designed to enhance the decorative and structural possibilities within Minecraft by allowing all types of fences to connect diagonally. This feature addresses a common limitation in the vanilla game, where fences only connect at right angles, restricting creative building designs. By introducing diagonal connections, the mod opens up new avenues for players to construct more intricate and visually appealing structures, such as custom enclosures, unique pathways, and elaborate decorative elements that were previously impossible to achieve with standard fence mechanics. It provides a simple yet impactful change that significantly expands building creativity. The mod operates by altering the collision and connection logic of fence blocks. When placed, fences will now recognize and connect to other fences that are positioned diagonally relative to them, creating seamless transitions and diagonal lines. This change is implemented in a way that feels intuitive and natural within the game's existing mechanics, ensuring that players can easily incorporate this new functionality into their builds. It dynamically supports blocks added by other mods, allowing for greater compatibility and integration with existing modpacks, while also providing a mechanism to exclude specific blocks if they interfere with the intended diagonal connections. Diagonal Fences is compatible with a range of Minecraft versions, specifically supporting 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. It is designed to work with multiple mod loaders, including Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. Crucially, this mod requires installation on both the client and the server. This means that every player connecting to a server where Diagonal Fences is active must have the mod installed on their own Minecraft client, and the mod must also be present on the server itself for the diagonal connections to function correctly for all participants. To install Diagonal Fences, place the mod file into the appropriate mods folder for your chosen mod loader. For Fabric, this is typically the 'mods' folder within your Minecraft directory, and it requires Fabric API and Forge Config API Port to be installed. For Forge and NeoForge, the mod file should also be placed in the 'mods' folder. Before launching the game, ensure that all necessary dependencies, such as Puzzles Lib (for Fabric and NeoForge) and Fabric API (for Fabric), are also installed correctly. If you are using Fabric and wish to configure the mod in-game, you will need to install the Mod Menu by Prospector.
