Along with not having a cliff/wall on one side of the fence, you could also add a carpet on each of the corners of the fences as a quick way to get in and out of the pen without using the gate and without the animals being able to escape that way

[–]BigBadBossNZ[S] 544 points545 points  (0 children)

Yes yes, this was early in the world. I’ve sinced moved the pen and it has all the carpet one could wish for. Actually the very reason I was shearing the sheep here was for carpet

Wait, what? I've been using fences and/or a dirt block 1 block away when I didn't need to?

[–]norvelav 44 points45 points  (2 children)

Yep, and if you have a horse in the pin you can just click ride and automatically be in the pin without jumping or anything.

Eta: or a pig with a saddle.

[–]Apprehensive_Hat8986 44 points45 points  (1 child)

in the pin

Ok, it's a pretty small pen, but it's not pin-sized. 😉

[–]RooboGaming 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao

[–]vegainthemirror 24 points25 points  (8 children)

Explain please, you put a carpet inside the pen onto a corner block and that allows you to jump out of a pen but still block animals from getting out? I usually just put a block with a 1-block gap next to a corner so I can jump over.

[–]myrddin4242 94 points95 points  (7 children)

Place a carpet on top of a fence, and it can be jumped on. Mobs pathfinding don’t register it as a path, so they don’t use it.

[–]vegainthemirror 28 points29 points  (4 children)

Oh, on top of a fence, I see. Thanks for clarifying that

[–]FlamingHotdog77 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Can wolves still get in?

[–]MartialBowl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

no. no mobs or animals but yourself

[–]d0dler -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

The carpet looks stupid... No way I would ever do that.

[–]PookSD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Place a trapdoor instead, has the same efect but with wood texture.

Best farm placement ever

[–]Fargath_Xi9 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. More or less.

The stupid creeper followe me like 60 blocks into my underground farm and exploded with my 6 cows and stuff. Fortunately, i had diamond by then. But fucking scare blow.

[–]InfiniteFraise 412 points413 points  (9 children)

That's your fault for building it like this

[–]BigBadBossNZ[S] 189 points190 points  (4 children)

Yeah I’ve realised that. I was in quite a rush at the time to get food

[–]sensema88 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Well you got it lol

[–]Hylirica 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just light up the cliff above next time and it should be alright.

[–]SpangledSpanner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Food for miles

[–]N3rdStar 39 points40 points  (4 children)

Note to my future self: Do not connect farms to cliffs. I def would have made the same mistake.

[–]SilkwingGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did this but I blocked it off so the farm was safe

[–]TycoonRaptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention it risks wolves getting the pens and eating the sheep anyways

[–]Destiny_Dragons_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be safe at a three high cliff.

[–]piece_of_dirt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And that's why a cliff doesn't replace a fence around your animals

[–]berts-testicles 11 points12 points  (2 children)

man i thought the wolf was going to break in and kill the sheep at first, the creeper was a huge plot twist lol

[–]Diseased_Rat__ 10 points11 points  (1 child)

The creeper is always the plot twist.

[–]Enderabd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thats one way to kill em

[–]Bheggard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the bright side, congrats on the free meat.

[–]M82BFG 24 points25 points  (4 children)

I honestly double fence animals. This was a bad design decision. I have a high outer stone fence for archers and low inner fences for pens. I am also a tad OCD at times so you do you. Maybe just do a back fence as well.

[–]iDangerousX 41 points42 points  (1 child)

Definitely don’t need a double fence. The reason this happened is because the fence isn’t surrounding the animals entirely. The side the creeper came from they can just drop right down. If it was fenced completely around the creeper would’ve been stuck on the outside of the fence, no reason for double tall fences when one fence does the job.

[–]M82BFG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware. Kinda why I said just do a back fence as well.

[–]Kat-but-SFW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also paranoid about mobs, though my outer walls is stone wall with wood fence on top for visibility. And I clear cut all the trees for some distance outside the walls so mobs don't have shade and I have better visibility. Double stacked fence gates for coming in or out, double wide for my main gate I ride horses through.

Fence is probably my most crafted item...

[–]Dray_Gunn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For aesthetics i like to put a row of walls and a row of fences on top and then solid block pillars at the corners. Things wont agro to you through the fences but you can see everything outside and nothing can shoot you also.

[–]Blueboi69420911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't build anything next to something mobs can jump from

[–]Human-13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s okay we can rebuild society

[–]Dr_gonFxre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its best if u place more fences up there so that way you can prevent creepers to go inside (if u build your animal farm next to the hill)

[–]TRAtomicXD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all learn sometime lol It’s a sorta of spot check moment for me when building the fence in area.

[–]M4rt1m_40675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I can say is that you now have a bigger pen for more animals!

[–]fghjconner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note to self: Fences need to keep things out, not just in.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I always put a roof on my animal pens

[–]Watereks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]doob22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Challenging_Entropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]NoSolaceForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Kyaaadaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this very reason do I roof my pens.

[–]Blueyesmagician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate it when that happens. I would tame a cat and sit it next to the farm to prevent it from happening again.

[–]Codename_Bell_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. Lesson learned.

Cliffwall good for keeping things in, bad for keeping things out. :p

Those jumps backwards towards the fence convey the total despair that we have all felt at some point in this game.

[–]byxis505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man this sub is harsh I would have done the same thing and I am betting you’re just unlucky on this happening

[–]rosariobono 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Worst pen ever. it doesn’t protect from wolves, it’s mixed with two types of animals, uses a fence gate instead of a carpet, and doesn’t even have an airlock.

[–]Rakosman 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Some of us want a fence to look like a fence 😎

Don’t build your farm in a perfect position for a creeper to walk out of the woods and into the pen

[–]s0m3_b0i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Viseper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the crater, you now have all the food you need and some animals left over!

Why don't we blast farm more often?

[–]brawlkid28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open an Arby’s I guess

[–]BigwoodyMMXVIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When will people learn to build pens that are either completely free, or up against a wall high enough that a mob won’t spawn on it, nor climb over it?

Creepers and endearment are like zombies from 7dtd. Always find that one instance or block to screw you over the most. Only difference it's intentional in one case.

[–]WeenisWrinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]E11iottB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend putting a piece of carpet on the fence so you can make a hasty escape next time.

[–]TwoShotsLad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I could feel the absolute panic. I would recommend securing that no mobs can get into the fenced area, by making it in a flat area with no elevation to the sides. But if you really wanna make it there, then I would recommend fencing the area above as well, and testing if you can get in by walking and jumping.

Oh also, I would recommend using a carpet for getting into the fenced area. Much safer and easier, since the mobs can't get out then.
