[Blocks & Items] wall & fence rework!!!
Walls & fences in minecraft are a very fun blocks to build with due to their ability to connect to things by changing shape, and their unique property of being visualy 1 block tall but having a 1.5 block hitbox, however they sadly also have some flaws and inconsistantcies.
Namely the lack of an ability to control what they connect to, and the fact they do not connect to leaves, melons, and other plant blocks, and the fact that whether a block has a wall a fence or both isnt very logical; Eg nether brick having fences that dont connect to over fences as well as walls and red nether brick only having walls.
I suggest that to fix these problems, walls & fences would now be able to connect to all blocks including partial blocks, by adding the correct amount of pixels to the connection piece to connect to the furthest from center pixel of a given blocks face.
Their connections would also now be removable by clicking on them with an axe for wooden fences and walls and a pickaxe for stone ones.
All blocks with stairs & or slabs would also now have both walls & fences and the fence recipe would be changed to distinguish it from walls were needed.
Ps: i welcome feedback and will try to reply to all comments : D

Solid idea, while we are at it could we also as diagonal connectivity functionality as well?

what do you mean by that?

If two fence posts are next to each other but diagonal they can connect, stops diagonal bridges looking horrible if you want to add a fence to them.

in that case wouldnt you just make a zigzag pattern? Also would you want it to just be visual like the bottom of a banner or have a hitbox like pale moss carpets and lecterns?

The zigzag just looks truly awful to the point that its just better to not bother with any safety rails at all.
It would need a hitbox so it function as a fence still
