Stained Glass

Stained Glass is dyed glass that can be used for decoration purposes (cathedrals, et al). It functions exactly as normal glass, with the addition of tinting. However, any light that passes through stained glass is not also tinted.

Stained glass can be obtained by placing 8 glass blocks around a dye of any color. The resulting glass will be colored according to the dye you used.

Stained glass can be used to craft Stained Glass Panes at 16 panes at a time.

Trivia

 * Stained glass was inspired by a popular suggestion in the minecraft forums, suggesting colored glass and light.
 * Stained glass does not change the color of light passing through them. For instance, it will not tint a room their respective color when used as windows.
 * Stained glass's ID 95 was originally used by Locked Chest.
 * Unlike regular glass, you can see the other side of the block (the texture noise) through itself (when looking through a single block).
 * Like glass, placing them together causes the dividing texture to become invisible. This means that if you cover up one color with another color, the covered one will be invisible.
 * Mojang have tried many times to implement stained glass before 13w41a but ran into problems with transparency every time.
 * Blue stained glass can be used to represent ice without having to bother about it melting. (although, if available, Packed Ice would be a better solution)
