Glass Pane

A glass pane is a transparent block that can be used as a more efficient alternative to glass blocks.

Breaking
Glass panes can be obtained using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. If one is broken without a Silk Touch enchantment, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Glass panes generate naturally as windows in villages and woodland mansions.

Orange and red stained glass panes generate in savanna village temples. Yellow stained glass panes generate in plains and savanna village temples. Brown stained glass panes generate in abandoned villages. White stained glass panes generate in plains village temples.

Usage
Glass panes are more efficient to use than glass blocks, as six glass blocks can be crafted into sixteen glass panes, yielding 2$2/3$ panes per block. Windows built using glass panes can be up to 267% (2$2⁄3$ times) larger in area than windows built with regular glass blocks.



Placement
If placed without anything on the sides, they appear as a thin vertical • shape, 2×2 pixels in size; but when other blocks occupy adjacent spaces, it becomes flat or turns into a or  or  shape depending on the items surrounding it. The collision box is identical to the shape of the pane. Therefore, two glass panes placed with one empty space in between forms a gap that is two blocks wide.

Glass panes are never oriented horizontally. Horizontal glass surfaces must be made from glass blocks.

Locking maps
Glass panes can be used in cartography tables to lock maps, which makes them unable to be filled again when exploring.

Trading
Apprentice-level cartographer villagers buy 11 glass panes for an emerald as part of their trades.

Trivia
