Black Stained Glass
minecraft:black_stained_glassBlack Stained Glass is a transparent decorative block made by surrounding 8 glass blocks with black dye in a crafting grid, yielding 8 dyed blocks. It lets light pass through while tinting the view, making it popular for dark windows and skylights. Like all glass, it only drops when broken with a Silk Touch tool and can be found naturally in trial chambers.
FAQ
How do I craft Black Stained Glass?
Place 8 glass blocks around a single black dye in the center of a crafting grid to produce 8 black stained glass blocks at once.
Do I need Silk Touch to collect it?
Yes. Stained glass shatters and drops nothing when broken normally, so you must use a tool enchanted with Silk Touch to recover the block.
Can I use it to color a beacon beam?
Yes. Placing stained glass above a beacon tints the beam, and stacking different colors blends them, so black stained glass darkens the resulting beam color.
Can mobs spawn on stained glass?
No. Mobs cannot normally spawn on stained glass blocks, though they still treat it as visually opaque for line-of-sight purposes.
