Do vanilla fences just not cut it for you anymore? Fence Overhaul aims to address qualms with vanilla fences by adding new ones. Because Fence Overhaul doesn't just replace the vanilla fence, many awesome things can be built with a combination of vanilla and improved fences!
This mod currently only adds diagonal fences, but many more fence-based improvements are planned / in development.
The names and crafting recipes are subject to change.
S = stick; F = fence; # = nothing

FFF ===> Diagonal Fence (x3)

This is indeed amazing. Sad that you can't seem to get Teotoo's permission for MineLB to be ported over. Perhaps you can do an unofficial port, so some of us can take a look at what it could be?
1.7.10?
do you have any plans on making the walls do this as well.
The diagonal fences are brilliant! It's so nice to see another little rebellion against everything-at-90-degrees Minecraft orthodoxy. :) I'm using a 256x testure pack (MojoKraft V16) and the diagonal fences just automatically pick up the texture. They are not a PERFECT match to a vanilla fence, but you have to look closely to see the discrepancy. Today is the first time I've used them and I love them already.
I'm not sure what else you already have planned, but Minecraft has long cried out for a double-height fence gate, and a double-width fence gate, and for that matter a double-height, double-width gate. (Either break-in-the-middle like vanilla fence gates or single-sided and swinging open like a regular door. A 2x1 doorlike gate seems like it should be easy to implement, pretty much vanilla door mechanics with a fence-like model.)
Oh hey, here's another idea for you: Horizontal fenceposts.
"...Wait, say what?"
Say you've laid out a farm plot and you want to place lights above it. What if you could place two or three fenceposts to make a vetical post either side, then put a horizontal fencepost rail or beam between them to hang lights from?
Or maybe you just want a different style of fence, with wooden rails between stone pillars.
Lemme quickly image-bash up something to show you what I mean...
Basically it's just a fencepost with no side rails, turned on its side.
I dunno if anyone has asked this but... have you considered making diagonal fence gates? I think that they'd be super awesome and add to the aesthetic of the mod as well!
I am soo happy that you created this, thanks you.. I do have a question , is there a way i can change fence to different colors? Awesome job, well done.

Mark the latest version for 1.12.2, so that people don't have to download it from the site, please.
In reply to EmosewaGamer:
just letting u know, ur mod really can increase the amount of loading time in a big modpack. It ended up memory overloading for me as it creates a diagonal fence type for every fence in the game...kinda annoying when mods do that and DON'T have a config to disable that and to instead just only implement vanilla woods or white/black list certain types via a json or config
