Brown Stained Glass
Brown Stained Glass gives Minecraft windows a warm brown tint while staying see-through, crafted from eight glass blocks around one brown dye.
Description
Six Brown Stained Glass blocks arranged in two rows of three craft into sixteen brown stained glass panes. Placed above a beacon, Brown Stained Glass turns the beacon beam brown, and each additional stained glass block blends its own color into the beam — red plus white stained glass creates pink shades. Seen through Brown Stained Glass, adjacent stained glass of an identical color renders invisible, so wide brown windows read as one seamless sheet. Torches can sit on stained glass since Java Edition 1.8, giving brown glass roofs an easy light source.

Guide
How to Craft and Use Brown Stained Glass in Minecraft
-
1
Craft eight blocks
Place one brown dye in the center of a crafting grid, fill the eight surrounding cells with glass, and collect eight Brown Stained Glass blocks. Smelt sand or red sand in a furnace to restock glass, or buy glass from librarian villagers.
-
2
Mine with Silk Touch
Equip a tool enchanted with Silk Touch before breaking placed Brown Stained Glass: every tool breaks stained glass at the same speed, but only Silk Touch saves the drop.
-
3
Craft panes
Arrange six Brown Stained Glass blocks in two rows of three on the crafting grid to turn them into sixteen brown stained glass panes.
-
4
Recolor a beacon beam
Place Brown Stained Glass anywhere above a beacon to turn the beam brown. Stack more stained glass above to blend shades, because red plus white stained glass makes pink.
Redstone dust and redstone components can be placed on Brown Stained Glass without powering the glass; in Java Edition, stained glass passes redstone signals upward but not downward.

Frequently asked questions
How many Brown Stained Glass blocks stack in one inventory slot?
Sixty-four Brown Stained Glass blocks fit in a single inventory slot.
Can mobs spawn on Brown Stained Glass?
Mobs cannot normally spawn on stained glass blocks. Zombie reinforcements are the only exception and can appear on stained glass blocks, though never on stained glass panes.
Is Brown Stained Glass a renewable resource (a resource you can obtain endlessly)?
Yes. Minecraft Wiki marks stained glass as renewable, and librarian villagers sell four to five glass for one emerald, which makes glass renewable.
Can hostile mobs see players through Brown Stained Glass?
No. Mobs treat stained glass as completely opaque, so hostile mobs cannot see players behind brown windows even when a mob appears to look through the glass.
Where does Brown Stained Glass generate naturally?
Brown Stained Glass can generate in trail ruins. Everywhere else, crafting eight glass around one brown dye remains the only source.
