So, in a snapshot, there was a new block called the 'barrier block'. What is this supposed to do? How will it affect Minecraft? Is it supposed to be like Before you can go in a cave, you must get wood or something? if you know what it is for, please comment.

It's mainly a creative-mode block; you won't see this naturally in survival. All it is is an invisible block that cannot be broken without creative mode or commands, and you must use commands (or pick-block feature in creative) to obtain it. Barriers prevent passage of all entities, so could be used to prevent players from accessing certain locations in a custom map or multiplayer server, or whatever other use folks can find for them. Holding a barrier block in your inventory will reveal nearby placed barrier blocks by applying a particle at the blocks location.
To add to Skyliner's comments, this will spawn naturally in survival. This block borders the Far Lands so you can't walk into fake chunks and die in the void. Now there is an invisible wall, nothing to worry about.

I am currently lurking more than I am posting. I haven't gone anywhere.

So what happens if you go there in creative and break them?

They do not spawn naturally; the world border in 1.7.4 is not the barrier block and cannot be broken. This world border seems to have gone missing in the snapshots. Crossing beyond the border will throw an "illegal position" error and you'll be kicked from the world.

Okay, this needs some investigating. From as far as I knew, this was the case. I haven't tested this, I have only heard we now have a new barrier block made to protect us from jumping off the world. All I know is from a couple of threads when the block just came out, it is possible something has changed.

The air at the edge of the world is just solid air blocks. Not barrier blocks.

Whoever told you so is incorrect; no investigation is necessary.

They are not "blocks" at all, air or otherwise. There is simply no world data past the edge of the world, and there is code to prevent the player from walking that far.
