Description

Magenta Stained Glass is a translucent building block crafted from 8 glass blocks and 1 magenta dye, producing 8 blocks per recipe. Magenta Stained Glass also generates naturally as the windows of end cities and end ships, giving explorers a place to spot the block in the wild. Magenta Stained Glass dates back to Java Edition 1.7.2 and Bedrock 1.0.0, with hardness 0.3, blast resistance 0.3, and a stack size of 64. No tool is assigned to Magenta Stained Glass, so every tool mines at the same speed, and only a Silk Touch break recovers the block — otherwise nothing drops.

Magenta Stained Glass suits windows, skylights, and magenta accents on glass facades; 6 blocks craft into 16 stained glass panes for thin window rows. Placed anywhere above a beacon, Magenta Stained Glass tints the beam magenta, and additional stained glass layers blend their colors into new shades. Mobs cannot normally spawn on Magenta Stained Glass, and mobs treat stained glass as fully opaque, never seeing players through the pane. Redstone dust, repeaters, and rails can sit on Magenta Stained Glass, and in circuits the block behaves like an upside-down slab.
