FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Glass?
None required — any tool or bare hands breaks it instantly, but only Silk Touch recovers the glass block itself.
How do I obtain Glass?
Smelt sand or red sand in a furnace, blast furnace, or campfire with any fuel source.
Why does breaking Glass drop nothing?
Glass shatters like real glass would, so without Silk Touch it yields no item — mine it with a Silk Touch tool to keep the block.
What can I craft with Glass?
Glass panes, glass bottles, stained glass, tinted glass, beacons, end crystals, daylight detectors, and harnesses all require glass as an ingredient.
