Breaking[]

Tinted glass drops as an item when broken with any tool or by hand, unlike other glass.

Block	Tinted Glass
Hardness	0.3
Breaking time (secs)
Default	0.45

Crafting[]

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Amethyst Shard + Glass	2

Usage[]

The light from a glowstone is completely blocked by tinted glass.

Tinted glass behaves like an opaque block, blocking light completely, despite being visually transparent. However, it isn't a solid block, and as with regular glass, mobs do not suffocate inside it. Unlike other types of glass, it cannot be turned into glass panes.
