FAQ

Do I need Silk Touch to pick it up?

Yes. Mining it with anything other than a Silk Touch tool destroys the block and drops nothing.

Can I use it to color a beacon beam?

Yes, place it directly above a beacon (or stack several colors) to tint the light beam that shoots into the sky.

Is it flammable?

No, stained glass is non-flammable and cannot be set on fire by lava or nearby flames.

Can mobs spawn on it?

No, hostile mobs cannot spawn on stained glass, though zombie reinforcements are an exception.
