Purple Stained Glass Pane
Purple Stained Glass Pane is a thin transparent decoration block (a dyed glass pane) that tints passing beacon beams purple for colorful window builds.
Description
Crafting yields Purple Stained Glass Pane through two recipes: 8 glass panes surrounding 1 purple dye produce 8 panes, and 6 stained glass blocks of one color craft into 16 matching panes — 2⅔ panes per stained glass block, so pane windows reach up to 267% of the area of stained-glass-block windows. A beacon beam turns purple where the beam passes through a Purple Stained Glass Pane. Water can share one block space with Purple Stained Glass Pane, yet the pane cannot lock a map the way a plain glass pane does.

Guide
How to craft and use Purple Stained Glass Pane in Minecraft
-
1
Gather the ingredients
Collect 8 glass panes and 1 purple dye for the dye recipe, or 6 stained glass blocks of one color for the bulk recipe.
-
2
Fill a 3×3 crafting grid
Open a crafting table, place the purple dye in the center cell, and fill the remaining eight cells with glass panes.
-
3
Take 8 panes from the output
Collect the 8 Purple Stained Glass Panes; the bulk recipe turns 6 same-color stained glass blocks (two rows of three) into 16 panes.
-
4
Place and shape the panes
Place Purple Stained Glass Pane next to other blocks: the pane stretches flat or curves to connect and never lies horizontally.
-
5
Recover panes with Silk Touch
Break a placed Purple Stained Glass Pane with a Silk Touch tool; without Silk Touch the pane drops nothing.
A beacon beam turns purple where the beam crosses Purple Stained Glass Pane, and water can fill the same block space as the pane.

Frequently asked questions
Can spiders get through a Purple Stained Glass Pane window?
Yes. A single empty space between two Purple Stained Glass Panes leaves a gap two blocks wide, and spiders crawl through that gap.
Can Purple Stained Glass Pane lock a map?
No. Regular glass panes lock maps, but a stained pane cannot lock a map.
Which tool breaks Purple Stained Glass Pane fastest?
Every tool breaks Purple Stained Glass Pane at the same speed, because stained glass panes have no assigned tool. Only the Silk Touch enchantment decides whether the pane drops.
Does Purple Stained Glass Pane emit light?
No. Purple Stained Glass Pane emits no light and only colors the beacon beam passing through.
How many Purple Stained Glass Panes fit in one stack?
One stack holds 64 Purple Stained Glass Panes, the same as stained glass panes of every other color.
