In Minecraft, are there any advantages to using cobblestone walls as opposed to regular fences? Besides the higher availability of cobblestone compared wood.

Cobblestone walls have better blast resistance and is not flammable, making it a slightly better defense against creepers and TNT, as well as making it usable near lava or fire.

Other than that, the difference is purely aesthetic.

Is there really a "Cobblestone fence"? Or do you mean "Nether brick fence"? – Alvin Wong Jan 19 at 9:57

I don't think normal fences burn though. Do they? Because signs don't. – jeffreylin_ Feb 4 at 23:50

@jeffrey Fences are flammable since B1.6. Signs are just weird. – SevenSidedDie Feb 5 at 0:31
