Glass

"Glass, you see, can't be broken with regular tools in Minecraft. Well, not without it shattering into a million tiny, invisible shards. Any experienced builder will always cook up more glass than they need for this exact reason - the tiniest slip and you'll have to make a lengthy trip back to the desert for more sand."

- Duncan Geere

Glass is a decorative, fully transparent solid block, which can be dyed into stained glass.

Natural generation
Magenta stained glass naturally generates as windows in end cities.

A secret room containing glass can be found inside woodland mansions.

Obtaining
Glass will drop itself only if it is broken with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch; otherwise, it will drop nothing.

Trading
Villager librarians will trade 3 to 5 glass for 1 emerald as part of their tier 3 trades.

Journeyman-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to sell 3 glass for 1 emerald.

Journeyman-level librarian villagers have a $2/3$ chance to sell 4 glass for 1 emerald.

Usage
Torches and redstone torches can be placed on top of glass, but not attached to their sides.

Glass blocks adjacent to other glass blocks are invisible when viewed through glass.

As a solid block, zombie reinforcements can spawn on top of glass, resulting in unexpected zombies "sneaking into" an otherwise secure area of a structure.
