Glass is a handy item to have in Minecraft. This decorative block lets through light without letting anything get to you. Most mobs, including Endermen, can't even see your character through glass.[1] You can use your glass to make a greenhouse safe from the threats of night time, or turn it into stained glass decorations and potion bottles.
Steps
Gather sand. It doesn't matter whether you use normal sand or red sand.[2] Both turn into ordinary glass.
Put the sand in a furnace. Craft a furnace out of eight cobblestone if you don't have one already. Place it on the ground, then right click to open the smelting window. Move the sand into the top square.[3]Advertisement
Add fuel. Put coal, wood, or any other fuel into the bottom square of the furnace.[4] As long as there's fuel in the furnace, it will turn each block of sand into a block of glass. Each block takes a few seconds to make, so be patient.
Take the glass from the furnace. The glass will appear in the results square in the smelting window. In the default Minecraft skin, glass looks like a light blue, mostly transparent cube.[5]
Place your glass. Glass is a full-sized block that is completely transparent to light. You cannot recover the glass block by breaking it, so don't put it down until you're sure you want it there.- A tool with the Silk Touch enchantment can recover the glass block intact. This way, you can steal glass blocks from places like villages, or remove misplaced glass.
Turn your glass blocks into panes. You can turn six glass blocks into 16 glass panes. These are thin, vertical blocks you can use as windows. In the PC edition, make a rectangle in the crafting area three squares wide and two squares high.[6]- Glass panes can look strange or even invisible when they aren't connected to anything on the sides. When you place other blocks next to them, the panes will automatically change shape to connect to them.
- You cannot make glass panes horizontal (flat). If you want to make a glass floor, use glass blocks instead.
Dye your glass blocks different colors. To make stained glass, place eight glass blocks in a ring around the crafting area. Put a dye of any color in the center to get eight stained glass blocks.- You can make many dyes by placing a single flower in the crafting area. Ink sacs, bone meal, lapis lazuli, and cocoa beans are also dyes.
Craft glass bottles. Interested in brewing potions? First you'll need to make glass bottles. Make a "V" shape in the crafting area using three glass blocks. This creates three glass bottles.[7]- To fill a bottle with water, hold it in your quick slot bar and use it on any body of water.
- You can play the game with your friends from different devices by creating servers.
- For example, you can use a Minecraft pocket edition server.[8]
- It is a Minecraft world on the mobile version of the game that allows players from different devices to join the same world.[9]

Tips
- The white-robed librarian villagers will sometimes offer you three to five glass blocks in exchange for one emerald. This is a tier 3 trade, which means you may have to trade several times to unlock it.[10]Thanks
- Mobs can't spawn on glass. If you want to keep a room in your house dark, use a glass floor to keep yourself safe. You can also make a neat visual effect with glass floors by building them over water or lava.Thanks
- Snow won't accumulate on glass.Thanks
Warnings
- Many objects will not stick to glass, including jack o' lanterns, doors and trapdoors, beds, ladders, rails, redstone wire, and pressure plates. You can place torches on top of glass blocks, but not on the sides.Thanks
