About Black Stained Glass

Black Stained Glass is a decorative block with a dark, transparent look. It works like regular glass, so you can see through it and daylight still passes through, but it gives windows and walls a much deeper tone.

Key facts:

  • It drops nothing when broken, unless you use a Silk Touch tool.
  • Beacon beams that shine through it turn black.
  • It is useful for dark windows, skylights, and accent builds where you still want some visibility.

How to get Black Stained Glass

You get Black Stained Glass by crafting it. Place one black dye in the center of a crafting grid and surround it with eight glass blocks. That recipe gives you eight black stained glass. Black dye is easy to obtain from ink sacs dropped by squid, or from wither roses. If you have already placed it and want to move it, use a Silk Touch tool to pick it back up.
