Making barriers visible and other mapmaking help.
70.2 of the 71 points that apply = 99 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
Visible Barriers is a mapmaking and playtesting mod that makes barrier blocks render as solid blocks, helping creators inspect areas normally hidden behind barriers. It also provides a zoom control, client-side fullbright and time-of-day adjustment, and lets players see marker entities when the mod is installed on the server. Additional tools include a creative tab for unlisted blocks and commands to mass-infect or lock blocks.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 9 areas, as a library other mods build on: Blocks and fluidsChanges 11 game code files in this area: how blocks, fluids and redstone work., Rendering and graphicsChanges 5 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., Mobs and their behaviorChanges 3 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., Server and world logicChanges 3 game code files in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules., Inventory and itemsChanges 2 game code files in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting., Game optionsChanges 1 game code file in this area: settings, key bindings and the option screens., PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls., Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses. and World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather..

Replaces 32 of vanilla Minecraft's models.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
Uses your Minecraft login
We read its code without running it: your login goes only to Mojang's own login service, as in the game itself.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
Point at or tap a version to see its loaders.
These projects do not work together with Visible Barriers: their authors or Visible Barriers' author say so. If you install both, the game can crash or some features can stop working. Some of them do the same job as Visible Barriers, so you only need one.
