Materials required to make glass

There are three items or materials required to make the glass, which is – a block of sand, a furnace, and a furnace fuel of any kind.

  • Sand block

Sand blocks can be easily collected by the players as no special equipment or tools are required. It is usually found close to water bodies and it can be found within a short span of exploration of the world. To collect it, the player has to break the sand block by hand and add it to their inventory.

  • Furnace

The furnace must be created and cannot be collected, unlike the sand block. 

  • Furnace fuel

Collect or mine fuel that can be used in furnaces for its functioning such as coal, wood, etc. Any kind of fuel can be used to create a glass block. Once all these raw materials are collected and the furnace is built, the player can create the glass.

Steps to make glass

  • Step 1

After collecting all the items, return to the home and right-click on the furnace to interact with it, and open the furnace menu. It would have three slots, in which the upper and lower slots must be filled with raw materials that interact to form the desired object that can be collected from the third slot.

  • Step 2

Place the furnace fuel on the bottom slot and the sand block on the top slot of the furnace. Apart from coal, wood, etc, any products made of wood can be used along with lava buckets, charcoal, etc.

  • Step 3

The sand would begin to smelt, then wait for the process to be finished to obtain glass. On successful creation, it can be added to the inventory of the player by simply dragging and adding it. Further to create stained glass blocks use the red or green dye by placing it on the crafting table and make dyed glass blocks.

Point to be noted: The glass blocks are mainly used to have better visibility of the outer world while others cannot see through it. The stained glass panes are used as decorative and are comparatively smaller in size. Hence, the blocks can be used for the creation of larger projects such as walls whereas the panes can be used for smaller areas such as windows.
