So, the update was released aout 20 minuites ago, and I've figured out grum's invisible thingy! It was easy really, the first thing I did was I opened up the files in the 'roaming' section.
Then I clicked on 'versions'
And when I opened up the .JAR file in WinRAR, I went over to the item textures, and copied them all over to a file.
So, as I instantly saw, there's a new texture called barrier! When I input /give Username minecraft:barrier it gave me this!
And it works perfectly too!
Hope this helps!

Yay! no more using doors or something alike to block players : D
The destroy particle is lava though..... looks weird...
When you hit in in survival, lava....
Now that's pretty cool. I'd almost be inclined to label 1.8 the Mapmaker's Update.

As I place them in a larger block, it creates a dark spot on the ground like they are blocking light. My example below is a 3x3x2 block.
Interestingly, if you turn Smooth Lighting off that disappears.

I have also noticed that being stuck on this block, without being in gamemode 3, will crash the game. If you want evidence, jump into Minecraft and give yourself a barrier block. Place a two high wall, and go into spectator mode. Once you've noclipped through the wall, go into gamemode 0-2. Your game will crash.
CAUTION: YOU WILL NEED A THIRD PARTY EDITOR TO GET OUT OF THE BLOCK!

I would agree with that.
That's one of many, yep.

Ah okay, that does help.
A friend linked me this youtube video that explains about the invisible block and apparently there is also a new "spectator mode".
Praise be to Spode.
I don't have proof on hand, but I've heard that this is a bug, and will hopefully be fixed in the next snapshot.

I thought I saw it listed as a bug, but I went back to the wiki and found:
Or maybe it is just the barrier block now. Haven't poked around enough yet.
That's awesome! clever idea!
