Visible Barriers

Name: Visible Barriers
Author: Diabet

Visible Barriers makes barrier blocks show up in the world on Forge, so map makers can see where invisible boundaries are.

ForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.8 – 1.12.2

What it does

Barrier blocks are normally invisible in survival and creative play, which makes them hard to place and check. This Forge utility renders them like other blocks while the option is switched on, and it works in every game mode that supports barriers. Files cover 1.8 – 1.12.2 across 24 release versions, and the latest Forge file is 1.1.1 for 1.12.2, released under the MIT License as open source. The mod runs on the client alone, so servers need nothing installed.

Key features

Toggled barrier visibility
A switch lets a player show or hide barrier blocks, so they can be inspected when needed and stay out of the way otherwise.
Resource pack compatibility
When a resource pack supplies its own barrier texture, that texture replaces the default red stained glass look with barrier icons on top.
Map making and admin use
Map makers and server admins who need clearer boundaries can see barriers without changing the server itself.
