Warning: April Fools' 
This feature requires April Fools' versions which may require file renaming or file deletion to load. See the Loading April Fools' Versions tutorial for more information.

When updating out of the April Fools version 3D Shareware v1.34, previously opened barrels display the texture of an open barrel.

Warning: File Renaming 
This feature requires file renaming which can corrupt your world. Perform at your own risk.

After updating, any barrels that are opened during this version display the texture of an open barrel. There must be an item inside a barrel for this to work; otherwise, the barrel will explode. In order to get an empty barrel, the item placed inside could be exclusive to version 3D Shareware, such as the red, yellow, and blue keys, or a hopper could draw items out of the barrel after updating. Using a hopper in 3D shareware still causes the barrels to explode.

Please Note: This does not work if updated to snapshot 19w14a or 19w14b; thus, any discontinued features during those two snapshots are mutually exclusive to open barrels. Placing and breaking blocks around the barrel doesn't update it, however opening the barrel in a later version will cause it to reset its texture.

Variations

Any combinations of items could be contained in them, including discontinued ones. This allows for millions of variations. However, all of these variations are considered unobservable discontinued features since you can't tell which items are in these barrels without the use of commands. Barrels can also be placed facing any of the cardinal directions, as well as up and down. The barrels can also be combined with invalid signal strength comparator.
