Tinted Glass
minecraft:tinted_glassTinted glass is a visually transparent block that completely blocks light and beacon beams, functioning as an opaque barrier despite its see-through appearance. It is crafted by combining four amethyst shards with one glass block, and unlike regular glass it cannot be turned into glass panes but does drop as an item when broken by any tool or by hand.
