Fences going up stairs?

[vinnland]

is there a good way to make fences go up stairs and connect? Or even up one block.

with no mod, seems the stair will need to be replaced with a chisled version, mixed with the wood type, and an additional chiseled wood block on top of that for the railing?

detail is engaging, the crafting work, sometimes not so much

Its not too bad to chisel it out, especially with Chiseltech Tools mod, but even vanilla chisel work for a hand rail shouldn't be too hard.

Only way is with the chisel.

I don't really understand the chisel yet. But my question is... if I use the chisel will the fence still block mobs from crossing?

[FlareUKCS]

Yes, a chiselled block still has collision.

There are some odd rules for chiselled blocks pertaining to room detection that you will probably like to find out about, but for your current needs it will sort out your issue.

a fence is considered 1.2(?) blocks in height (and imbued with magic repellent, ok maybe not, but there is coded logic in there somewhere)

so in of it self, the chiseled facsimile won't block the same way.  and also why using beams becomes a poor choice in emulating a fence.

also kind of depends on what is desired to block.  goats and bears won't/can't climb over a single height fence, but to prevent entry with blocks, the blocks would need to be taller.

inventively, a fence post could be placed 1 block deep, on the side of the stair, so just the tip of the fence is sticking out from the ground, that would kinda of hide it, and still offer some stumble for things trying to climb over... the key word is invent along with some trial n error gl?
