Barricade

by Mod Garden

Barricade adds barrier blocks that stop entities from crossing in chosen directions, in place of the vanilla barrier that blocks everything.

What it does

Directional barriers block movement in specific directions, while entity barriers block the entities that meet them. The mod provides barricade:up, barricade:down, barricade:north, barricade:south, barricade:east and barricade:west, plus barricade:horizontal and barricade:vertical for two-axis walls. The advanced barrier, given the id barricade:advanced_barrier, can act on a single block entity and can be made directional and predicated on another block.

Advanced barriers are configured through a JSON file in data/barricade/advanced_barrier/, where a component is given an id value of barricade:advanced_barrier. Items can be obtained with a give command or from the Operator Utilities creative tab. A resource pack named Barricade Rendering changes barrier light block rendering and can be enabled or disabled; items that activate rendering are specified by adding or modifying JSON assets under barricade/operator blocks.

Barricade is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge. Fabric builds reach 26.1.2, while NeoForge has a 1.21.1 file dated 2025-04-15.

Key features

  1. Directional barrier blocks

    Six barriers block entities on one side each, from above, below, north, south, east or west.

  2. Two-axis barriers

    Horizontal and vertical barriers cover the four horizontal or both vertical directions at once.

  3. Advanced barrier block entity

    A block entity barrier can be shaped by a JSON file and predicated on a specified block.

  4. Configurable rendering

    A resource pack controls how barriers look, and JSON assets decide which items trigger it.

Questions

Which loader should be used for Barricade?

Fabric builds cover versions up to 26.1.2 and NeoForge has a build for 1.21.1, so the loader must match the game version in use.

Does the server need Barricade?

No. The environment is client required and server optional, so a server can run without it, though the barrier blocks only take effect where the mod is installed.

Are there game versions where Barricade is missing?

Files exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.5, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, so versions between these have no build.

What the author says

This mod may also change barrier and light block rendering, to be friendlier to directional based barriers. You can enable/disable the above by applying/removing the Barricade Rendering resource pack.
