What it does

The mod is distributed as a Craft Barrier datapack and adds a crafting recipe for the barrier block, which is otherwise unobtainable in survival. The recipe uses a Nether star, redstone block and glass, and yields 16 barrier blocks. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack option, for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions, under the MIT License. The project is not open source.

A second addition is an enchantment that allows a pickaxe to break bedrock barriers and reinforced deepslate. Using it costs chunk durability on the pickaxe. The author describes the pack as a balanced way to incorporate normally unobtainable blocks into survival play.

Key features

  1. Barrier crafting recipe

    Sixteen barrier blocks can be crafted from a Nether star, a redstone block and glass.

  2. Bedrock-breaking enchantment

    An enchantment lets a pickaxe break bedrock barriers and reinforced deepslate.

  3. Durability cost

    Each use of the enchantment costs chunk durability on the pickaxe, which limits how often it can be used.
