Barrier blocks reflect sound, there is also no config for barrier block's sound absorption. This is highly noticeable in custom adventure maps where barrier blocks are largely used, causing unwanted reverbs in a seemingly open space.

Expected behavior
Barrier blocks should be ignored by default.

Versions

• Minecraft version 1.19.2
• Forge/Fabric version 0.14.9
• Mod version 1.0.15

You can reduce the reflectivity of that block in the config, but sound won't pass through solid objects in the world.

Wow! That was a quick reply, thanks.
I don't seem to be able to find the barrier block in the config list, could you elaborate further?

Also, barrier blocks are not supposed to be solid objects, they are fully transparent and are simply forcing entities from going in and out, yes? So, they can be considered as "air" blocks.

Any way this can still be fixed in 2024?

Because, when I try to add it in the config, it gets deleted.
