Revised Glass
by Sunny223
Revised Glass is a data pack that lets players recolor existing colored glass by crafting it in a table with a chosen dye.
What it does
A crafting table recipe takes a chosen dye placed in the center slot and surrounds it with eight pieces of colored glass. The result is a recolored glass in the dye's color, which can then be shaped into glass blocks or panes in the desired hue. The data pack works on servers, so the server must run it, while players may add it on their clients for the same features.
The data pack is installed by copying the Revised Glass folder, provided as a zip file, into the data packs folder inside the server files, then restarting the server. Its files are published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.21 only, with 1.1+mod for 1.21 as the latest file on each loader. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It is also published as a data pack for server platforms.

Use cases
Decorative builds
Builders who want glass in specific shades can make them from existing colored glass instead of finding each color.
Server builds
Server owners can add the recipes to a shared world so every player gets the same recoloring options.
Who it’s for: Players who build with colored glass on Minecraft 1.21, and server owners who want recoloring recipes without installing a full mod on each client.
