Usage

Nether brick fences are non-flammable and have the same blast resistance as most stone blocks. Nether Brick fences have the same usages as regular fences to form barriers and attaching mobs with a lead.

Nether brick fences connect to most blocks, including wooden fence gates, but not wooden fences.

Note Blocks

Nether brick fences can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.
