Glass Pane

This article is about the thin block. For the solid block, see Glass.
"Stained Glass" redirects here. For the visually transparent but light-opaque block made with amethyst shards, see Tinted Glass.

A glass pane is a transparent block that can be used as a more efficient alternative to glass blocks.

Obtaining

Breaking

Glass panes can be obtained using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. If one is broken without a Silk Touch enchantment, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Glass pane

Stained glass pane

Orange and red stained glass panes generate in savanna village temples. Yellow stained glass panes generate in plains and savanna village temples. Brown stained glass panes generate in abandoned villages. White stained glass panes generate in plains village temples.

Usage

Glass panes are more efficient to use than glass blocks, as six glass blocks can be crafted into sixteen glass panes, yielding 22⁄3 panes per block. Windows built using glass panes can be up to 267% (22⁄3 times) larger in area than windows built with regular glass blocks.

A single space between two glass panes results in a 2×1 hole, which spiders can pass through.

Placement

If placed without anything on the sides, they appear as a thin vertical • shape, 2×2 pixels in size; but when other blocks occupy adjacent spaces, it becomes flat or turns into a Curve.png or T junction.png or Cross.png shape depending on the items surrounding it. The collision box is identical to the shape of the pane. Therefore, two glass panes placed with one empty space in between forms a gap that is two blocks wide.

Glass panes are never oriented horizontally. Horizontal glass surfaces must be made from glass blocks.

Glass panes can be waterlogged, which means water can be in the same place as a glass pane, unlike regular glass.

Locking maps

Glass panes can be used in cartography tables to lock maps, which makes them unable to be filled again when exploring. Stained glass panes cannot be used to lock map(s).

Trading

Apprentice-level cartographer villagers buy 11 glass panes for an emerald as part of their trades.

Trivia

  • In Java Edition, due to its flat appearance in the inventory slot and the inventory being colored light gray, light gray stained glass panes almost appear invisible.[2]

Screenshots

  • The screenshot that Jeb posted on his Twitter.

  • Glass panes in the 1.8 Pre-release.

  • Panes are thin, so it is possible for players or mobs to fit in a 1×2×1 space, which makes them useful for creating trophy displays, like this Creeper here.

  • Water does not flow through the holes in the panes, but the player can fit inside them.

  • The original look of stained glass panes.

  • Stained glass panes as of 1.7.2.

  • Sticky pistons being used with glass panes.
