Creation

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.

Crafting Quartz Glass

Quartz Glass blocks require sticks, and clear quartz ore obtained by panning, collected from small stones, or 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: Only clear quartz variant can be used to craft these blocks, which are not 100% transparent.
  • Appearance: The type of materials does not affect the appearance of the block. All quartz glass has the same appearance.

Crafting (Clear) Glass

Glass blocks require charcoal, a bloomery, and quartz ore obtained by panning, collected from small stones, or 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: Any quartz variant (clear quartz or quartz) can be used to craft these blocks, which are 100% 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. For more information (how to use the bloomery), see the bloomery page.

Crafting Green Stained 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.
  • 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. For more information (how to use the bloomery), see the bloomery page.

Crafting Glass Slabs

Glass blocks of all types can be cut into two glass slabs using a saw in the crafting grid as shown below:

Building Component

Glass Blocks and slabs are also used to create windows and skylights in player structures. Other stained glass (red, yellow, blue, purple and brown) cannot be crafted as of game version 1.11, but can be purchased from traders for rusty gears.

breaking a glass block using an empty hand (or any tool) does NOT destroy the glass. Glass blocks may be broken and replaced as needed.
