About this project
What does Villager Barrier add?

This mod adds Villager Barrier blocks that stop only Villagers from passing through. This means you can choose where your Villagers can and can't go. The Villager Barrier is invisible, has no bounding box, and can't be broken unless holding the Villager Barrier or the Villager Barrier Detector. They also can be disabled and reenabled again with the Villager Barrier Detector. This allows for open wandering and cool builds without any hassle.
Villager Barrier Detector Uses
The Villager Barrier Detector can be used to do everything stated above but it also has other features.
How to Enable or Disable Barriers
The Villager Barrier Detector allows you to right click the barrier blocks to enable or disable the block. By default all Villager Barrier Blocks are enabled. This means Villagers can't pass through them. If you right click while holding the Villager Barrier Detector to disable the barriers Villagers will now be able to pass through them. You will also get feedback on screen stating whether you are disabling or enabling a Villager Barrier.
How to Tell if a Barrier is Enabled or Disabled
You can tell if a Villager Barrier is disabled by either looking at the color of the barrier or by hovering over a Villager Barrier with the Villager Barrier Detector. If the Villager Barrier Detector says "Villager Barrier is disabled" then that barrier is disabled. There is no text overlay for enabled barriers when hovering over them. The only text for enabled barriers is when enabling them after they have been disabled.
