How to make a Border Block in Minecraft

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

In Minecraft, a Border block is a special block that allows you to set borders in a world. These world borders can not be crossed by players and therefore restrict where players can travel. They create an infinite boundary both above and below the Border block.

In addition to restricting movement, a Border block places restrictions on digging and placing blocks. Players will not be allowed to dig or place blocks anywhere above or below the Border block (overriding the Students Can Build setting for a world in Education Edition).

TIP: A Border block ONLY imposes restrictions on players that do not have operator status.
