Why can't I craft this?
« on: 21 Mar 2015, 04:58:11 »
i was looking to build a fence for my wheat but for some reason when i try to make a fence block it doesn't work. the fence pops up for a split second but by the time i move the mouse over to grab it it disappears? is this a bug?

Keep in mind we are not in 1.8. So that could be why you're having an issue. Is it a normal wooden / stick fence?

 Ok, now I am confused. The gates are made with four sticks on the two sides and two wood blocks in the middle. The fences are made with 6 sticks (two rows). That is how I have always made fences.  You used two planks and the fences appeared and vanished? I looked at wiki and that that is what it showed- four blocks/2 sticks.
Is this a new recipe for 1.8? GG's answer makes me think so.
If the recipe changed for fences, are there any other altered recipes?
No, I haven't played 1.8 yet, just a little time in creative.

As explained by others, the server is still running 1.7, but you're able to connect when using 1.8. You need to craft fences using the recipe in 1.7. Once we update however (a post will be made when we do) you'll be able to make the different colours and use the new recipe.

In 1.8 they changed the recipe of fences to include using planks (because they introduced new colours of fence, the planks determine the fence colour). This change is not yet live on Noobstown because we're still officially running 1.7; once we update however yes you will need to use wood with the sticks to craft a fence.
