About this Mod
Craft Barrier
This datapack adds a crafting recipe for Barrier to the game. You're able to craft 16 pieces using Nether star, redstone block and glass. It also adds an enchantment which allows you to break bedrock, barriers and reinforced deepslate, at the cost of a chunk of your pickaxe's durability.
