Obtaining
Like a few blocks, such as the command block, for example, the Barrier block can only be obtained via commands. By doing the command: /give @p minecraft:barrier ₠(Note: one does not have to put Minecraft with barrier) will give the player the amount of Barrier blocks put in the command. Barrier blocks are unobtainable in Survival unless "cheats" are enabled and used.
