Obtaining
Barriers cannot be broken in vanilla survival mode.

Barriers are not listed in the creative inventory (similarly to command blocks and structure blocks) and can only be obtained using commands, such as /give minecraft:barrier.

Usage
Barriers are transparent to light and do not block a Beacon. Fences, Iron Bars, Glass Panes and similar blocks will not visually connect with barriers. Barriers interact with blocks and mobs as a solid block. All dependent blocks can be placed on a barrier, such as torches or redstone, and it will suffocate mobs. Mobs cannot spawn on barriers.

In creative mode, if a player is holding a barrier block in their hand, all placed barrier blocks display the barrier icon as a particle. This effect is client-side, and if a player holds a barrier block in survival, the particle won't display. Barrier blocks will not be shown if the particle setting is set to "minimal". Barriers cannot be pushed by pistons.
