Players can create three versions of glass blocks: 'Clear' Glass, Quartz glass, and Green stained glass. All types of glass are crafted as full blocks and can be cut in half producing two glass slabs (half-blocks) in the crafting grid.
Players can create several different versions of glass blocks: Clear Glass, Quartz glass, and colored glass including Smoky, Green, Pink, and Violet. All types of glass are crafted as full blocks and can be cut in half producing two glass slabs (half-blocks) in the crafting grid.


Stained glass of few other colors can be purchased from [[traders]].
Stained glass of other colors (Yellow, Brown, Red, and Blue, and additionally Green and Violet) can be purchased from [[Trading#Luxuries|Luxury Traders]].

===Crafting Clear Glass===
===Crafting Clear Glass and Colored Variants===
Glass blocks require [[charcoal]], a [[bloomery]], and quartz ore obtained by [[panning]], collected from small stones, or mined from [[rock]] to create. 
The only types of glass made this way are Clear, Smoky, Pink, Violet, and Green glass. Quartz Glass is crafted as detailed in the section above.
*Block Shapes: Only Full Blocks may be created. Glass Slabs (half-block) are created in the crafting grid.
Other colors, such as Yellow, Brown, Red, and Blue, can only be obtained through [[Trading#Luxuries|Luxury Traders]]. Violet and Green glass are exceptions that can be both smelted and purchased.
*Material Variant: Any quartz variant, clear quartz or quartz, can be used to craft these blocks, which are completely transparent.
*Appearance: The type of materials does not affect the appearance of the block.


Glass is crafted using the bloomery. A maximum of 24 quartz chunks may be added to create 12 glass blocks in one firing, as each glass block requires two quartz chunks.
*'''Note: Green glass costs twice as many gems to make one piece of glass (so a full bloomery requires 48 chunks instead of 24, making the same 12 pieces of glass) but is otherwise the same method.'''
For more information about how to use the bloomery, see the [[bloomery]] page.


===Crafting Green Stained Glass===
Glass blocks require [[charcoal]] (or other [[fuel]] source with a burn temperature at or above 1200°C), a [[bloomery]], and quartz ore obtained by [[panning]], collected from small stones, or mined from [[rock]] to create. A maximum of 24 quartz chunks may be added to create 12 glass blocks in one firing (or 48 chunks to 12 green glass in the case of olivine), as each glass block requires two quartz chunks (or four in the case of Green Glass).
Green Glass blocks require [[charcoal]], a [[bloomery]], and the mineral olivine mined from [[rock]] to create.
 
*Block Shapes: Only Full Blocks may be created. Glass Slabs (half-block) are created in the crafting grid.

*Material Variant: Olivine must be used to craft these blocks.  
*Material Variant: Any quartz variant (Including clear quartz, smoky quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, or olivine) can be used to craft glass in this way. The table below shows the different types of quartz and the glass they smelt into.
*Appearance: The type of materials does not affect the appearance of the block, as only one type of material can be used to craft.

Green Glass is crafted using the bloomery. A maximum of 48 olivine chunks may be added to create 12 green glass blocks in one firing, as each glass block requires four olivine chunks.
