Alternative Stained Glass
by Mutous
Alternative Stained Glass, from Mutous, adds 16 color alternative stained-glass blocks for Minecraft 1.7.10 on Forge.
What it does
The blocks give builders a set of stained glass colors in a different texture style from vanilla. Horizontal panes are included alongside the full blocks, so windows and walls can be built with either form. The original textures are by elwood612 and are released under the MIT License.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since it is a client and server environment. The optional Alternative Stained Glass Connect resource pack lets the glass connect to neighboring blocks, and it is not required to place the blocks. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
Only one game version is supported, 1.7.10, and Forge is the only loader. The latest file is 1.0.3 for 1.7.10, dated 2024-05-29, after a first release on 2024-05-26. The mod was tested with Forge 10.13.4.1614 and OptiFine 1.7.10 HD U D4.
Key features
Sixteen glass colors
Stained glass blocks come in 16 colors, each with an alternative texture set.
Horizontal panes
Pane blocks can be placed horizontally, so glass fits floors, ceilings and flat trim as well as walls.
Connected textures
The optional resource pack makes adjoining glass blocks join visually when used with the connect pack.
Original textures
The texture art is an original set by elwood612, distributed under the MIT License.

Who it’s for: Builders working on Minecraft 1.7.10 with Forge who want more stained glass color options and a different texture style than vanilla.
How it compares
Connected Glass is a Forge mod for 1.6.4 – 1.7.10 that is client-side only, under the MIT License, and is not open source, so players can join without installing it. Marble is a Forge mod for 1.7.10 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, the same environment and license as Alternative Stained Glass. Horizontal Glass Panes covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not share this mod's version range or loader.
