Yellow Stained Glass
Yellow Stained Glass is a dyed glass block for windows and skylights that drops only when mined with Silk Touch (mined blocks drop themselves).
Description
Yellow Stained Glass serves as a transparent accent for windows, skylights, and patterned walls. Mobs treat Yellow Stained Glass as completely opaque, never see players through the pane, and never spawn on the surface — zombie reinforcements are the sole exception. Torches can be placed on Yellow Stained Glass since Java Edition 1.8, so glass rooftops keep lighting without breaking the yellow pattern. Yellow Stained Glass is renewable (obtainable in unlimited amounts) and stacks to 64 per slot.

Guide
How to Craft Yellow Stained Glass in Minecraft
-
1
Gather 8 Glass and 1 Yellow Dye
One crafting batch of Yellow Stained Glass consumes 8 Glass blocks and 1 Yellow Dye.
-
2
Place the dye in the center
The 3×3 crafting grid takes the Yellow Dye in the center slot.
-
3
Surround the dye with glass
Glass blocks fill the eight remaining slots around the Yellow Dye.
-
4
Collect the output
The crafting output slot yields 8 Yellow Stained Glass blocks per batch.
-
5
Recover blocks with Silk Touch
A Silk Touch-enchanted tool returns a placed Yellow Stained Glass block; any other tool destroys the glass without a drop.
Yellow Stained Glass placed anywhere above a Beacon turns the beam yellow: the first stained glass block sets the color, and each additional stained glass block blends the colors.

Frequently asked questions
Does Yellow Stained Glass generate naturally in Minecraft?
No. Natural generation covers only magenta, brown, black, light gray, and white stained glass, so Yellow Stained Glass comes exclusively from crafting.
Can Yellow Stained Glass burn or be destroyed by lava?
No. Stained glass is not flammable, and lava does not destroy the block.
Does redstone interact with Yellow Stained Glass?
Redstone dust and redstone components sit on top of stained glass but cannot power the block. In Java Edition, a redstone signal travels up through Yellow Stained Glass and never down.
Why does Yellow Stained Glass vanish when viewed through matching glass?
Identical colors hide their neighbors: a stained glass block adjacent to glass of the same color turns invisible when viewed through the matching glass, a rendering rule shared by all sixteen stained glass colors.
