Macaw's Fences and Walls in All the Mods 10

Macaw's Fences and Walls is a building mod. It adds new vanilla-styled fences, walls and gates, so your bases and builds get more variety without leaving the vanilla look.^[1]

It's for you if you like decorating and want more options than the base game's fences, walls and gates. It adds no machines, power or processing, so it only matters for the look of your builds.^[1]

The pack ships version 1.2.1 of the mod, built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.^[2]

Where it fits in the progression

Unverified The sources I was given show no quests for this mod, no place for it on the ATM Star path, and no in-jar guidebook. Treat it as a decoration mod you can use whenever you like, because nothing I have confirms that it gates or unlocks any progression.

Macaw's Fences and Walls adds vanilla-styled fences, walls and gates. In this pack they are all crafted at a normal crafting table, and the recipe blocks below show the exact in-pack recipes. Here is a good order to work through them.^[1][3]

Start with a Bamboo Fence

The Bamboo Fence is a handy first craft because its recipe uses just one type of ingredient. It gives you a feel for the mod's look before you move on to bigger builds.^[3]

Try a hedge

Hedges are also single-ingredient recipes, made from the matching leaves. Each tree type has its own, like the Acacia Hedge and the Azalea Hedge.^[3]

Make a wooden fence and a matching gate

Next, pick a wood type and make a fence plus a gate in the same wood so they match. Acacia works as an example: the Acacia Picket Fence pairs with the Acacia Curved Gate. The same styles exist for other woods, such as birch, cherry and dark oak.^[3]

Move on to stone walls and railing gates

Once you have stone on hand, the mod has wall styles for several stone types. The Andesite Pillar Wall is one example. The Andesite Grass Topped Wall is another, and its recipe includes dirt. Matching walls exist for blackstone, deepslate and diorite.^[3]

The metal gates are crafted from their matching metal fence. The Curved Metal Fence Gate is made from the Curved Metal Fence, and the Bastion Metal Fence Gate is made from the Bastion Metal Fence.^[3]

This one is a short section, and that's by design. Macaw's Fences and Walls is described as a mod that adds new vanilla styled fences, walls and gates. Nothing in the sources describes machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for it, so there's nothing to set up or wire together.^[1]

Stacking pieces upward

The mod's tooltip text includes one mechanic line: "Can be stacked upwards to be taller". So some pieces are meant to be placed on top of each other to build taller structures. The sources don't say which pieces carry that tooltip, so check the tooltip on the piece in your hand.^[4]

How pieces are crafted

Every recipe visible in the pack's recipe dump is a shaped crafting recipe, so you make these pieces at a normal crafting table. The dump doesn't show every recipe, so I can only vouch for the ones I can see. Here are three examples: a hedge, a wired fence and a metal fence gate.^[3]

The Acacia Hedge is one of the hedge pieces, and this is its in-pack recipe.

6× Bastion Metal Fence GateMod recipe

6 × Bastion Metal Fence

Recipe id: mcwfences:bastion_metal_fence_gate

The Bastion Metal Fence Gate is crafted from its matching fence, Bastion Metal Fence.

The visible recipes cover several families: curved, highley and pyramid gates, horse, picket, stockade and wired fences, hedges, and walls such as the Andesite Pillar Wall and Blackstone Grass Topped Wall. Railing gates such as the Andesite Railing Gate are in the dump too.^[3]

Unverified Whether the pack changed any settings for this mod is not shown here. Any such options would live in a config file, and the sources available for this section include no config files for the mod.

Unverified No quests in this pack involve this mod, so there is no quest-driven progression path to follow here. The tiers below come only from the in-pack crafting recipes.

The recipes shown for this mod are all shaped crafting recipes. Your progression is mostly about which materials you have on hand, so I've grouped the items into rough material tiers.^[3]

Wood tier

The wooden sets come in many wood types, including bamboo, cherry, crimson and mangrove. Each is built from the matching logs or stems and planks, plus sticks for some styles. The Acacia Stockade Fence uses only acacia log and acacia planks. Hedges such as the Azalea Hedge are made from leaves instead.^[3]

The stockade fence needs only logs and planks of its wood type.

Iron tier

Wired fences like the Acacia Wired Fence add iron bars to the log and sticks. Railing gates for the stone types, like the Andesite Railing Gate, use iron bars together with the polished stone.^[3]

Stone tier

The wall styles come in andesite, diorite, granite, blackstone, deepslate, deepslate brick and end brick versions. Each gets a pillar wall and a grass topped wall. The grass topped versions, like the Andesite Grass Topped Wall, also need dirt. The pillar walls, like the Andesite Pillar Wall, don't.^[3]

A recipe the pack changed

This mod shows up in one chapter of the quest book: Building Tips, which has 91 quests. The mod has its own quest there, "Macaw's Fences and Walls" quest, and it also feeds into a final Macaw quest.^[5]

What the quest says

"Macaw's Fences and Walls" quest is an item quest. The quest book describes the mod as adding new types of fences, gates and walls. It also warns you that the barbed wire will hurt you, and that you can't jump over any of them normally.^[5]

Where it sits in the chapter

The chapter is a decoration and building tour. Here is the route from the start to the Macaw quests:^[5]

1. Start at "Building Tips!" quest, the opening quest of the chapter.^[5]
2. Next comes "Decoration!" quest, which unlocks after the opener.^[5]
3. After that is "Decor Mods!" quest, a quest about decor mods the author recommends for your house or base.^[5]
4. Then comes "Macaw's Mods" quest, which introduces the Macaw mods by their developer, Macaw Sketch, and asks if you can craft it all.^[5]
5. Finally you reach "Macaw's Fences and Walls" quest, which unlocks after the Macaw's Mods quest.^[5]

Its neighbours and what follows

Several other Macaw quests also unlock after "Macaw's Mods" quest: "Macaw's Doors" quest, "Macaw's Roofs" quest, "Macaw's Trapdoors" quest and "Macaw's Paths and Pavings" quest. You can work through them in any order.^[5]

The fences and walls quest also counts toward "Completed Macaw" quest. That checkmark quest needs the Doors, Fences and Walls, Roofs, Paths and Pavings, Trapdoors, Holidays, Lights and Lamps, Furniture and Windows quests done. Its text says you got one of everything from Macaw's Mods, and that you've earned your own Macaw.^[5]

Here's how Macaw's Fences and Walls has moved through the pack's releases. The pack changelogs only record version bumps, so there's no detail on what changed inside the mod itself.^[2][6][7]

• All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier: Macaw's Fences and Walls was already part of the pack by this point.^[2]
• All the Mods 10 2.42: updated from 1.1.2 to 1.2.0.^[7]
• All the Mods 10 5.5: updated from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1.^[6]

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships version 1.2.1, so that's the version this guide describes.^[2]

Unverified The mod's own changelogs for these versions aren't available in the sources here, so what 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 added, fixed or changed (blocks, recipes or otherwise) is unverified.
