Barrier blocks - the new forcefield?

[Virtual]

In CaptainSparklez snapshot video,

He discusses the new Barrier blocks. I feel like this would make a great addition to how maps work on MCSG - instead of using glass, you could use barrier blocks and if you ran into it, it would hurt you.

In Catching Fire (in the book), they mention reaching a point where there was just land and nothing else (I think) - this could work the same for maps - you would be able to tell you're reaching the forcefield by not seeing anything beyond a certain point.

For map makers, in the latest snapshot released today, in creative mode you'll be able to see the barrier blocks, as mentioned in Sethblings latest snapshot video,

What are your opinions on this? Should this be something MCSG should take advantage of? (For the developers & map-makers)

I'm looking forwards to this in maps.

Be a hell of a lot less ugly with shaders.

They should add this. But I have a feeling some people might think they're lagging or something if they don't know what it is.

Moved to "Feature suggestions" since this is technically a feature suggestion.

I honestly don't think they should do this, as people would not be able to see the barrier and might run to into it. They would get confused and and maybe angry. I really do not think that this should be added to th game.

For regular MCSG, maybe not. Catching Fire, I would like to see

Problem is, people can use a Resource pack to see them.

No problem with people using a resource pack to see them. That is their decision, and I would do the same thing. Catching Fire I could care less if they added if, but I do not want this to be added to regular MCSG.

Could be frustrating to be running from someone and suddenly getting killed by an invisible wall.

Is the idea being suggested to replace glass domes with these? That would be kinda cool.

Just put the air id block or the 1-way ladder blocks ._.
