Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Waterlogged barrier blocks

This has been vaguely requested for the Java Edition quite a while ago, and I would like to bring it back into attention.

Right now there isn't a seamless way to create invisible walls in water (apart from a world border, which can't be manipulated into odd shapes and therefor isn't ideal). Barriers always leave a one block gap.

Waterlogged barriers are already added to the Bedrock Edition, and I don't see why this wouldn't be implemented in the Java Edition. Waterlogging (and perhaps also lavalogging) barriers would be a well received feature for map makers, builders and server owners.

Thanks a lot for voting!

    To answer this comment, a waterlogged barrier is a barrier block that has the appearance of water block. A non-waterlogged barrier block is a solid block that appears as air, or, invisible in other words, used for making invisible borders for custom maps and the like.

    The only alternative I could think of is using invisible shulkers with a resource pack to remove their heads, though that will definitely pose a performance problem, especially since I imagine using a LOT of them in a fairly large underwater space. Being able to waterlog barrier blocks or making a new variant (since I don't think you'd be able to use a debug stick on them) would be immensely helpful.
