How to make a Barrier in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a barrier with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a barrier is an invisible block that players can not go through. It is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace and it is not available through the Creative Inventory menu. You can only add a barrier to your inventory using a game command.
