# Visbarrier<\/p>\n
Toggle barrier block visibility in Minecraft Forge 1.8 – 1.12 with better performance<\/p>\n
Uses better rendering methods:
\n* Seamless rendering
\n* Connected Textures<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Optimized Rendering
\n– Keybind Toggle
\n– Connected Textures
\n– Optional Chat Notifications
\n– Resource Pack Compatible<\/p>\n
## Usage<\/p>\n
**Press `B`** to toggle barrier visibility on\/off
\n*(Rebind in Options \u2192 Controls \u2192 Visbarrier)*<\/p>\n
You’ll see a chat notification confirming the toggle:<\/p>\n
| Barriers ON | Barriers OFF |
\n|————-|————–|
\n|  |  |<\/p>\n
## Commands<\/p>\n
Mod settings in `\/visbarrier` commands<\/p>\n
| Command | Alias | Effect |
\n|———|——-|——–|
\n| `\/visbarrier connect` | `\/visbarrier ct` | Toggle connected textures on\/off |
\n| `\/visbarrier notify` | `\/visbarrier n` | Toggle keybind chat notifications on\/off |<\/p>\n
## Customization<\/p>\n
Override the barrier appearance with a resource pack:<\/p>\n
– **Texture**: `assets\/minecraft\/textures\/blocks\/barrier.png`
\n– **Model**: `assets\/minecraft\/models\/block\/barrier.json`<\/p>\n
If a resource pack provides its own barrier texture, Visbarrier’s connected textures are automatically bypassed so the resource pack renders as intended.<\/p>\n
## TODO
\n– Maybe fix 1.12.2 connected textures but honestly I don’t know who uses it
\n– Also let me know if other versions broken and maybe I’ll fix it maybe I won’t \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
