Glass
Glass adds stained glass variants, horizontal glass panes, glass doors and glass trapdoors for players building with glass in survival and creative worlds.
What it does
Glass expands the vanilla glass family with a set of new decorative blocks. The author notes that the aim is many more varieties of glass building blocks, and that the early stages already include a range of cosmetic glass blocks. Stained colours are planned for glass ceilings and skylights, which lets more light reach a build.
The content covers the full set of shapes: panes, horizontal panes, doors and trapdoors. Crafting a normal glass pane in the grid produces a horizontal glass pane, and the reverse craft returns it to the standard form. A glass door is crafted in a shape similar to a normal door, and a glass trapdoor is crafted from four glass blocks in a 2x2 shape, giving a new form of window. Waxed copper blocks, including normal and weathered variants, can be placed in the middle of a crafting grid surrounded by glass blocks.
Glass is listed for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.16.5, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1. The latest Fabric file is 1.2.0 for 1.20.1, published 2024-08-02, and the latest Forge file is 1.3.0 for 1.19.2, published 2024-08-05. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
