FAQ
Do I need Silk Touch to collect Black Stained Glass?
Yes. Mining it without Silk Touch destroys the block and drops nothing.
Does Black Stained Glass block light?
No, light passes through it, but the light is tinted black, which visually darkens the area behind it.
Can I use Black Stained Glass to hide from mobs?
Mostly yes — unlike clear glass, most mobs cannot see players through stained glass, and black glass is the most opaque looking of the colors.
Is Black Stained Glass flammable?
No, like all glass variants it is non-flammable and safe to use near lava or fire.
