Simply Glass

by Snowspells

Simply Glass is a Forge mod that adds more glass variants to Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds variants of glass, including glass types derived from non-glass blocks, so builders get a wider palette than vanilla offers. It is still in active development, and the author asks for feedback on which variants players find appealing. Both client and server need the mod, which is published for Forge only under the MIT License, and it is not open source.

Key features

  1. More glass variants

    New glass blocks extend the vanilla selection for windows, walls and decorative builds.

  2. Non-glass based types

    Some added variants take their look from blocks that are not glass, widening the range of translucent materials.

  3. Feedback-driven development

    The author is still iterating on the variants and invites comments about which ones look good.
