Description

Pink Stained Glass is the pink variant of Minecraft's dyed glass, added to Java Edition 1.7.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.0.0. Crafting eight glass blocks around one pink dye in a 3×3 grid yields eight Pink Stained Glass blocks. Crafting is the only source, because pink stained glass never generates in structures, while magenta, brown, black, light gray, and white stained glass appear in end cities, trail ruins, and trial chambers. Hardness 0.3 and blast resistance 0.3 make Pink Stained Glass a fragile material, and a block broken without Silk Touch drops nothing. No tool is assigned to Pink Stained Glass, so mining speed stays the same with any tool.

Pink Stained Glass serves as a transparent building block for pink windows, skylights, and greenhouse walls. Placed above a beacon, Pink Stained Glass tints the beam pink; every further stained glass block in the beam sets the color by averaging red, green, and blue with the current beam color. White Stained Glass stacked above the pink beam section pulls the color toward pale pink. Mobs treat Pink Stained Glass as completely opaque. Mobs cannot normally spawn on Pink Stained Glass, so a pink glass ceiling adds decoration without adding spawn surfaces.

Guide

How to craft Pink Stained Glass in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Smelt the glass

    Smelt Sand or Red Sand in a furnace into Glass. One crafting batch of Pink Stained Glass needs eight glass blocks.

  2. 2

    Obtain pink dye

    Craft one Pink Dye from a Pink Tulip, a Cactus Flower, or Pink Petals, or two Pink Dye from a Peony. Combining one Red Dye with one White Dye also gives two Pink Dye, and a wandering trader sells three Pink Dye for one emerald.

  3. 3

    Craft the stained glass

    Place one Pink Dye in the center of the 3×3 crafting grid and fill the remaining eight cells with Glass. The recipe outputs eight Pink Stained Glass blocks.

  4. 4

    Mine with Silk Touch

    Break placed Pink Stained Glass with a Silk Touch tool to recover the block; a block broken without the enchantment drops nothing.

  5. 5

    Tint a beacon beam

    Place Pink Stained Glass anywhere above a beacon to turn the beam pink. Additional stained glass blocks in the beam average the red, green, and blue components, so stack other colors for custom shades.

Identical glass turns invisible

Viewed through glass of an identical color, stained glass blocks adjacent to other glass blocks are invisible — a trick for building seamless Pink Stained Glass window walls.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pink Stained Glass generate naturally?

No. Pink Stained Glass comes only from crafting. Naturally generated stained glass is magenta in end cities, brown in trail ruins, and black, light gray, or white in trial chambers.

How do you recover placed Pink Stained Glass?

Break Pink Stained Glass with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Without Silk Touch, the broken block drops nothing.

Which tool breaks Pink Stained Glass the fastest?

Pink Stained Glass has no assigned tool, so every tool mines the block at the same speed.

Can mobs spawn on Pink Stained Glass?

Mobs cannot normally spawn on Pink Stained Glass. Zombie reinforcements are the only exception, spawning on stained glass blocks but not on stained glass panes.

Does Pink Stained Glass change a beacon beam?

Yes. Pink Stained Glass placed anywhere above a beacon tints the beam pink, and each further stained glass block averages the red, green, and blue components into the beam color.

Is Pink Stained Glass renewable?

Yes. Pink Stained Glass is a renewable resource (endlessly obtainable), and Pink Dye crafts from plants such as peonies and pink petals.
