Diamond Glass
by kreezxil
Diamond Glass is a world generation and decoration mod that adds glass blocks made from Diamond Sand, with panes, slabs and stairs.
What it does
Diamond Glass adds glass blocks, panes, slabs and stairs that take their material from Diamond Sand, with blast resistance close to obsidian. The support blocks exist mainly so the progression from Diamond Sand reaches a usable building material. Each placed block takes a special texture, and the surface reads as one continuous piece. A separate Diamond Glass variant is set to be invulnerable, which the author proposes for Wither and Ender Dragon museums.
The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Because it is a client and server mod, the server and every player need it installed. Required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge on game versions 1.11.2 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds targeting 26.2 and the latest Forge build targeting 1.20.1.
Key features
Diamond Glass blocks
Glass blocks, panes, slabs and stairs are added, each made from Diamond Sand as its base material.
Obsidian-level blast resistance
The glass set resists explosions at a level close to obsidian, which makes it useful for protected walls.
Invulnerable variant
A Diamond Glass variant can be set to be invulnerable, so it can be used in boss-fight museum displays.
Configurable hardness
Settings change hardness and explosion resistance, with two types of blocks provided for adjustment in the config.

What the author says
I wanted a really strong glass but without adding a mod that added lots of other stuff I didn't need. The glass in this mod is based on diamond and sand. The diamond glass blocks, panes, slabs, and stairs have the blast resistance of obsidian, are hard as heck to remove once placed, and have that special texture…
