Description

Red Stained Glass Pane is the red variant of the stained glass pane, a dyed thin transparent block added to Minecraft in Java Edition 1.7.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.0.0. Six blocks of red stained glass craft into 16 Red Stained Glass Panes, and since Java Edition 1.14 a second recipe turns 8 glass panes plus 1 red dye into 8 Red Stained Glass Panes. Red Stained Glass Pane has a hardness of 0.3, a blast resistance of 0.3 (resistance to creeper and TNT explosions), and stacks up to 64 items. A tool enchanted with Silk Touch (an enchantment that makes blocks drop themselves) is required to harvest Red Stained Glass Pane, because any other way of breaking leaves no drop, and every tool breaks stained glass panes at the same speed. Savanna village temples generate Red Stained Glass Pane naturally beside orange panes of the same shape.

Windows built from Red Stained Glass Pane can reach up to 267% (2⅔ times) of the area of windows built from the same stained glass placed as solid blocks, because one block of red stained glass converts into 2⅔ panes. Standing alone, Red Stained Glass Pane forms a slim vertical post, while neighbouring panes and solid blocks stretch the pane into flat planes, corners, T-junctions and crossings, with a collision box that always matches the visible shape. Red Stained Glass Pane never lies horizontally, can share its block space with water (waterlogging), and cannot lock a map the way regular glass panes do. Beacon beams change colour when shining through Red Stained Glass Pane, and torches can sit on the pane since Java Edition 1.14.3. Both crafting recipes list Red Stained Glass Pane as a decoration block for scarlet church windows.

Guide

How to craft Red Stained Glass Pane in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Gather the materials

    Collect 8 glass panes and 1 red dye for the small recipe, or 6 blocks of red stained glass for the bulk recipe.

  2. 2

    Craft 8 panes from glass panes and dye

    Fill the ring of the 3×3 crafting grid with 8 glass panes, place 1 red dye in the centre cell, and collect 8 Red Stained Glass Panes.

  3. 3

    Craft 16 panes from stained glass

    Cover the bottom two rows of the 3×3 grid with 6 blocks of red stained glass to craft 16 Red Stained Glass Panes at once.

  4. 4

    Harvest with Silk Touch

    Enchant a tool with Silk Touch before breaking placed panes, because Red Stained Glass Pane drops nothing without the enchantment.

  5. 5

    Place panes to form windows

    Set Red Stained Glass Pane next to other panes or solid blocks, and the pane stretches into flat planes, corners and T-junctions.

Water and beacons

Red Stained Glass Pane can share its block space with water (waterlogging), and beacon beams change colour when shining through Red Stained Glass Pane.

Frequently asked questions

Is Red Stained Glass Pane renewable?

Yes. Red Stained Glass Pane is a renewable resource (endlessly obtainable through crafting), and both recipes — 8 glass panes plus 1 red dye, or 6 red stained glass blocks — can be repeated for new panes.

Does Red Stained Glass Pane burn in fire or lava?

No. Stained glass panes are neither flammable nor lava-susceptible, so Red Stained Glass Pane does not burn away in fire or lava.

Can spiders pass through a Red Stained Glass Pane window?

Yes, when a single empty space stays between two panes, the 2×1 hole lets spiders through. Place panes without gaps for mob-proof windows.

Can Red Stained Glass Pane lock a map?

No. Unlike regular glass panes, stained glass panes cannot be used to lock maps.
