Visbarrier

Toggle barrier block visibility in Minecraft Forge 1.8 – 1.12 with better performance

Uses better rendering methods:

• Seamless rendering
• Connected Textures

Note: Did not really test for 1.9 – 1.11 so let me know if it works well. I know 1.8.9 works great and 1.12.2 doesn’t have connected textures right now

Features

• Optimized Rendering
• Keybind Toggle
• Connected Textures
• Optional Chat Notifications
• Resource Pack Compatible

Usage

Press B to toggle barrier visibility on/off
(Rebind in Options → Controls → Visbarrier)

You’ll see a chat notification confirming the toggle:

| Barriers ON | Barriers OFF |
|————-|————–|
| | |

Commands

Mod settings in /visbarrier commands

| Command | Alias | Effect |
|———|——-|——–|
| /visbarrier connect | /visbarrier ct | Toggle connected textures on/off |
| /visbarrier notify | /visbarrier n | Toggle keybind chat notifications on/off |

Customization

Override the barrier appearance with a resource pack:

• Texture: assets/minecraft/textures/blocks/barrier.png
• Model: assets/minecraft/models/block/barrier.json

If a resource pack provides its own barrier texture, Visbarrier’s connected textures are automatically bypassed so the resource pack renders as intended.

TODO

• Maybe fix 1.12.2 connected textures but honestly I don’t know who uses it
• Also let me know if other versions broken and maybe I’ll fix it maybe I won’t 🙂
