The wall provides Three-Quarters Cover, and its space is Difficult Terrain. Any creature in the wall's space makes a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d10 Force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature also makes that save if it enters the wall's space or ends it turn there. A creature makes that save only once per turn.

You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades made of magical energy. The wall appears within range and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain.

When a creature enters the wall's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 6d10 slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

Blade Barrier 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version specifies "up to" 10 minutes duration, clarifies that creatures make a Dexterity save when entering or ending their turn in the wall, and that they only make one save per turn. Damage is Force in 2024, whereas it was Slashing in 2014. The 2014 version does not specify saving when entering or ending turn, nor limit saves to once per turn.
