Clean and Clear Glass
by lidwinae
With Clean and Clear Glass installed, vanilla glass blocks and glass panes take on a cleaner, clearer look and join their neighbours visually.
What it does
Clean and Clear Glass is a visual mod that runs only on the client side of Minecraft Java Edition. It changes how vanilla glass blocks and glass panes are rendered, keeping matching variants visually connected, while the original blocks and items stay as they are. Clean outer borders are drawn, and the connected internal borders are hidden. Its settings screen lets a player choose between the Clear, Subtle and Regular Glass styles, and Tinted Glass offers three visual styles as well.
The mod is standalone and works entirely on the client, so only the client needs it; servers and other players are not affected. On Fabric, the settings screen opens through Mod Menu once that mod is installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.16.5, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 26.3 as the latest build for both loaders. The code is covered by a custom license, so the project is not open source, but its source code is public.
Key features
Connected glass rendering
Glass blocks and glass panes are drawn with clean outer borders, and the seams between matching neighbours are hidden.
Three glass styles
Clear and Subtle styles apply to Regular Glass, while Tinted Glass offers its own three visual styles, selectable in the settings.
Stained glass support
Stained glass colours are supported, so coloured panes keep the same connected look as plain glass.
Toggle and settings screen
The rendering can be switched off, and the style choice is made in a settings screen that Fabric users reach through Mod Menu.
