Monbarrier Invisible Boundary Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft the invisible boundary blocks?
Check your crafting table with the mod installed—the recipe uses common materials like cobblestone and other basic blocks. Once crafted, place them around your pasture perimeter just like regular fence blocks.
Why can't I see the barriers I just placed?
Invisible barriers are hidden by design to keep your pasture looking natural. Hold the fence detector tool in your main hand to reveal all placed barriers—they'll show as red Pokéball icons.
How do I let Pokémon escape through a specific barrier?
Hold the detector tool and right-click the barrier block you want to disable—it will turn red and glow, allowing Pokémon to pass through. Right-click it again with the detector to reactivate the barrier.
Do the invisible barriers stop players from walking through?
No, players can walk right through invisible barriers freely. Only Pokémon are blocked by active barriers, which is what makes them perfect for open-looking pastures.
Can I use pressure plates to automatically trigger barriers?
Yes, the mod includes custom pressure plates that can be set to trigger specifically for players or Pokémon, letting you automate gate openings based on who steps on them.
What happens if I disable a barrier and my Pokémon escapes?
Your Pokémon will be able to roam freely once a barrier is disabled—they're not recaptured automatically, so re-enable the barrier quickly or search for escaped Pokémon.
Can I manage multiple separate pastures with different barrier controls?
Yes, you can place multiple sets of invisible barriers around different areas and control each one independently using the detector tool.
Does this mod work with other Cobblemon features like breeding or battling?
The mod is designed as an extension to Cobblemon and focuses only on containment—it doesn't interfere with breeding, battling, or other core Pokémon mechanics.
Will invisible barriers cause lag or performance issues?
Invisible barriers have no collision box for players and are designed to be lightweight, so they shouldn't noticeably impact performance even with many placed around your world.
How do I know if a barrier is active or disabled when I'm not holding the detector?
Active barriers are completely invisible, while disabled barriers glow red—but you'll only see the red glow when holding the detector tool, so always carry it when managing your pastures.
