Description

Light Blue Stained Glass is the sky-blue dyed variant of Glass, introduced in Java Edition 1.7.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.0.0. One Light Blue Dye in the center of a crafting grid, surrounded by eight Glass blocks, yields eight Light Blue Stained Glass blocks. Crafting is the only source: light blue never generates naturally in the world, unlike magenta, brown, or white stained glass. A Silk Touch tool (an enchantment that makes fragile blocks drop themselves) is required to recover a placed block, because Light Blue Stained Glass broken any other way drops nothing. Stained glass has no assigned tool, so an empty hand breaks Light Blue Stained Glass exactly as fast as any tool, and the block pairs 0.3 hardness with 0.3 blast resistance.

Light Blue Stained Glass is transparent like plain Glass and gives builders a full-size window block in sky blue. Mobs treat stained glass as completely opaque and cannot see through Light Blue Stained Glass, so tinted windows keep interiors hidden from mob detection. A single Light Blue Stained Glass placed anywhere above a beacon turns the beacon beam light blue, and every additional stained glass block blends another color into the beam. Six Light Blue Stained Glass blocks arranged in two rows craft into sixteen stained glass panes, the thin companion blocks for narrow window strips.

Guide

How to Craft Light Blue Stained Glass in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect the ingredients

    Gather eight Glass blocks and one Light Blue Dye before opening a crafting table.

  2. 2

    Center the dye

    Place the Light Blue Dye in the middle slot of the 3×3 crafting grid.

  3. 3

    Fill the grid with Glass

    Put one Glass block in each of the eight remaining slots; the output slot then shows eight Light Blue Stained Glass blocks.

  4. 4

    Mine with Silk Touch

    Break placed Light Blue Stained Glass only with a Silk Touch tool (an enchantment that makes fragile blocks drop themselves); every other method drops nothing.

  5. 5

    Tint a beacon beam

    Place one Light Blue Stained Glass anywhere above a beacon to set the beacon beam to light blue.

Mobs cannot see through the tint

Mobs treat stained glass as a completely opaque block and cannot see through Light Blue Stained Glass, while players keep the view.
