explosion-proof-glass
by Tyson2012
Explosion Proof Glass is a transparent block that carries the top explosion resistance, so walls and windows behind it stay intact through creeper blasts and ghast fireballs.
What it does
The block keeps the look of vanilla glass, using the same texture and model, but explosions cannot destroy it. Players who build near creepers, or in areas where visibility and protection both matter, can place it as a window or wall without losing the view. The block is listed in the Building Blocks tab of the creative inventory and can be obtained in survival.
Breaking the block requires a pickaxe, and it drops as an item when mined that way. The mod adds one block and no new mechanics, so it suits players who want protected sightlines without a larger system. Protecting valuable builds from griefers and accidents is a common use, as is creating secure windows in bases.
The mod runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and needs Fabric API on the same loader. Both the server and every player need it, because the block has to be present on each side. The code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
