STAINED
by Ethanmirak
STAINED adds more than 180 stained glass block pane variants to NeoForge worlds, so builders can give walls, windows and rooms custom designs.
What it does
The mod adds over 180 stained glass pane variants for decorative building. Players can craft a Glasswork Rack from dark oak and iron lead, then use a glass block pane with an iron ingot to produce a new design. Tinted glass panes are added and can be crafted like any other glass pane. Because the blocks are new, a build can use colors and patterns that the vanilla game does not offer.
STAINED runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, and the environment is client-side only, so the server does not need the mod and players connecting to servers that lack it can still see the pane textures as long as they install it themselves. The code is not open source and the mod is released with all rights reserved, so redistribution is not granted by the license. The first and latest file, version 1.0.0, was published on 2026-08-14, and the mod has not been updated since.
Key features
180+ pane variants

Glasswork Rack crafting
A Glasswork Rack is crafted from dark oak and iron lead, and it is the starting point for making new pane designs.
Pane recoloring

Tinted glass panes
Tinted glass panes are included and crafted the same way as other glass panes, so they fit existing recipes.

How it compares
Scipi's Lights is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is client and server and open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different kind of decoration than pane designs. Horizontal Panes is open source under the MIT License, available on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, and runs client and server. Illuminated Glass is for NeoForge 1.21.1, client and server, under the MIT License, but is not open source. STAINED differs from all three by being client-side only and not open source.
