Stained Glass

Stained Glass is dyed version of regular glass that can be used for decoration purposes (cathedrals, etc. ). It functions exactly the same as normal glass, with the addition of tinting. However, any light that passes through stained glass will not be tinted due to the limitations of the current lighting system.

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 used.

Stained glass can be crafted into 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 it. For instance, it will not tint a room its respective color when used as a window.
 * Stained glass's ID 95 was originally used by the Locked Chest.
 * Like glass, placing stained glass blocks 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 tried to implement stained glass before 13w41a but each time ran into problems with transparency.
 * 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)
