Stained Glass

Stained Glass is the dyed version of glass that can be used for decoration purposes. It functions exactly the same as normal glass, except it cannot be used in the same crafting recipes.

Obtaining
Glass will shatter and not drop anything when broken, unless a tool enchanted with silk touch is used, in which case the glass will drop itself.

Usage
Most blocks dependent on a block cannot be placed on stained glass.

The only exceptions are torches and redstone torches, which can be placed on top of stained glass, but not attached to their sides.

Trivia

 * Stained glass may have been inspired by a popular suggestion in the Minecraft Forums, suggesting colored glass and light.
 * Stained glass's ID (95) was originally used by the locked chest, effectively removing the locked chest from the game.
 * Mojang tried to implement stained glass before 1.7.2 but each time ran into problems with transparency.
