[Feature request] Option to use ladders, air, or glass for barrier blocks on 1.7

[vemacs]

None of these will work perfectly in all situations, but it would be nice to have the option.

• Ladders (possibly sideways) provide invisible barriers in 1.7, but won't work near walls.
• Air, well, it doesn't smoothly provide barriers, but some may prefer it over glass (aesthetics)
• Glass, what it is currently

In addition:

• Checkerboarded bottom half of iron doors, could possibly be computationally intensive to do (effectively replace only odd, odd coords and even, even coords for xy or yz, both work), but would work pretty well. Could be made even better by setting orientation based on neighboring blocks (iffy corners, but that's a small price to pay, and the server would knock back anyways).

I wouldn't do air, since that is what normally happens when 1.7.10 clients see 1.8 blocks without protocollib.

Ladders are an interesting idea.

I would also go with iron door parts (Invisible but not accessible) They're like ladders, but completely invisible

@NavidK0 I actually would put air as an option, as glass is not aesthetically pleasing in some scenarios, and in my scenario, that's actually preferred (even with the "forcefield" effect). Without ProtocolLib, there would no support for translating blocks AFAIK.

@Wombosvideo it's mentioned in the comments.

Oh, didn't see it ;-)

All blocks, items, and entities now have config options.
