Description

Orange Stained Glass is the orange variant of dyed glass, crafted on a crafting table from eight glass blocks arranged around one orange dye to yield eight stained blocks. Orange Stained Glass never generates naturally in any Minecraft structure. Crafting remains the only way for survival players to obtain Orange Stained Glass. Orange Stained Glass has a hardness of 0.3 and breaks at the same speed with any tool. A Silk Touch enchantment is required for the drop: without Silk Touch, Orange Stained Glass shatters and leaves nothing.

Builders use Orange Stained Glass for warm window walls, glazed roofs, and autumn-toned accents. Mobs treat stained glass as completely opaque, so hostile mobs cannot see players through Orange Stained Glass while the view outward stays clear for players; mobs also cannot normally spawn on stained glass blocks. Placing Orange Stained Glass above a beacon turns the beacon beam orange. Six Orange Stained Glass blocks craft into sixteen matching stained glass panes. Both ingredients are renewable: sand smelts into glass in a furnace, and orange dye comes from orange tulips or from red dye plus yellow dye.

Guide

How to Craft Orange Stained Glass in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Smelt sand into glass

    Place sand or red sand in a furnace to smelt each block into one glass block; eight glass blocks feed one stained glass recipe.

  2. 2

    Make one orange dye

    Craft one orange dye from an orange tulip, or combine one red dye with one yellow dye for two orange dyes.

  3. 3

    Craft the stained glass

    Fill the eight outer cells of a crafting table with glass, set one orange dye in the center, and collect eight blocks of Orange Stained Glass.

  4. 4

    Recover blocks with Silk Touch

    Break placed Orange Stained Glass with a Silk Touch tool whenever relocation matters; without Silk Touch, breaking drops nothing at all.

  5. 5

    Tint a beacon beam

    Place Orange Stained Glass anywhere above a beacon block to turn the beacon beam orange; further stained glass layers blend their colors into the beam.

Mob sight stays blocked

Mobs treat stained glass as completely opaque and cannot normally spawn on stained glass blocks, so Orange Stained Glass hides players from hostile mobs while players keep the outside view.

Frequently asked questions

Which Minecraft version added Orange Stained Glass?

Stained glass joined Java Edition in version 1.7.2 and Bedrock Edition in version 1.0.0, so Orange Stained Glass has existed since both of those releases.

Is Orange Stained Glass flammable?

Stained glass is not flammable and not susceptible to lava, so fire and lava leave Orange Stained Glass intact.

Can redstone power Orange Stained Glass?

Redstone dust and redstone components can be placed on top of stained glass, but a redstone signal cannot power the stained glass blocks themselves.

Can torches and rails sit on Orange Stained Glass?

Torches have been placeable on stained glass since Java Edition 1.8, and Java Edition 1.14 extended stained glass support to rails, redstone dust, and redstone repeaters.

How exactly does stained glass tint a beacon beam?

The first stained glass block above a beacon sets the whole beam color, and each additional stained glass block averages the current beam's red, green, and blue values with the block's color.
