Legacy Visible Barrier

by metaconscious

Legacy Visible Barrier makes barrier blocks visible on the client, so they can be seen the same way as other blocks.

What it does

Barrier blocks are normally invisible in the game, which makes them hard to locate while building or testing. This mod lets the client render them, and the option can be toggled on and off. It runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. It is published for Legacy Fabric and Ornithe on 1.8.9, and requires Legacy Fabric API and Ornithe Standard Libraries.

Key features

  1. Visible barriers

    Barrier blocks are drawn on screen, so their positions can be read at a glance.

  2. Toggle option

    The visibility of barriers can be switched on or off while playing.

  3. Same as other blocks

    Barriers display in the same way as other blocks in the world, without a separate overlay.
