Talk:Glass

Just a "decorative" block?
Hello, my name's Andrea. I was thinking: is glass just a "decorative" block? I don't think so, because it's both decorative & necessary sometimes, don't you think? Through glass you may see stuff beyond a certain threshold which others can't surpass to come to you. Regards.

Do zombie reinforcements spawn on glass?
The article currently states: "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. It also correctly states that mobs cannot spawn on glass. Is it true that zombie reinforcements are an exception, and can spawn on glass? --Runamucker (talk) 11:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Bob Bridges, robhbridges (gmail): I think we need a new section here -- we could maybe call it "Interactions". I've noticed that creepers cannot see me through glass; spiders and phantoms can. I don't think archers can, or skeletons, or whatever they're called. Others will be able to fill in behavior of other mobs.

And once, long ago, I saw an enderman who walked onto a glass surface and immediately started to sink into it. He didn't turn red as if he were taking damage, but he immediately teleported away. I usually build my first shelter into the side of a hill because it's fastest as the first nightfall approaches, but after that they're all of glass: walls and roof both, so I can see whether there are any creepers around before I walk out during the day. This particular shelter was near a hill, and I think the enderman walked from the ground onto my roof. Maybe he teleported there, but that's not how I remember it. As I said, he immediately started to sink into it, and teleported away. That was some years ago and maybe endermen can walk on glass now, but they couldn't back then, at least.


 * Glass is weak. Building out of stone helps protect from creepers; glass does not. So I make small glass windows to let me look out, and a lookout platform on top of my home base to pick off creepers with a bow before I venture out.
 * I have no idea about zombie reinforcements, because I play Bedrock. Amatulic (talk) 04:35, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
