    There are already a few special blocks, which are part of the CTF plugin:

    • Block 16 (coal ore) blocks soldiers from climbing.
    • Block 36/97 (moving piston/monster eggs) blocks engies and nercos from placing structures.

    So, I thought it would be useful to give the barrier block the same properties:
    • Block 166 (barrier) blocks soldiers from climbing & blocks engies and necros from placing structures.
    It's just a small change, but it could improve the CTF gameplay and the mapmaking immensely.

    1. The barrier block is invisible, means you can place it wherever you want, and it won't destroy the aesthetics.
    2. It would allow mapmakes to build bigger/more detailed structures, because they could just block the camping spots off. Using coal ore for that would destroy the aesthetics again.

    Well, it's just an idea. (;

    Honestly I don't think it should have the same properties as 36/37. I can see it being used for a lot of things - maybe even entire invisible walls at the sides of maps - and to have to account for restrictions would just end up being really frustrating.

    That said I'm all for using it as a second block 16 as long as people don't overuse it. Preferably I'd like to see it as a boundary block, nothing more.

    Keeping the aesthetics of a map good while keeping it soldier UP is a nightmare.

    This seems like a pretty good idea! I don't really need to build on it, would make lives much more easier, and it's a pain for me to place a bunch of coal ores everywhere considering it makes my bootiful map look disgraceful ;( .

    I like it, except for the fact that, as a Soldier player,, all I see is me going up to a wall and not being able to climb, logging off because "It's not working", rinse, repeat.

    Imagine that for a noob. "Soldier doesn't work!" they'll say.

    We need a message that says "You cannot climb on this block".

    I like it, my only concern would be how soldiers would be able to figure out where they can't wall climb without trial and error (which in situations such as flag capping would be extremely unfair if left to trial and error.)

    There should also be a chat message if you collide or try to break a barrier block (if that's possible). The invisible properties preserve aesthetics but can confuse newer players (and possibly regulars too).

    I feel like this would we an amazing addition to the game you could enclose and area not in coal but with a clear block, this could also allow you to make structures with design value inside or outside of the map with no need to worry about ninja's and soldiers +8

    I like it, coal ore looks really ugly and you can't really make a tall tower out of it, so its not that useful either.
