Craft glass in Minecraft: All the info

Glass is one of the materials in Minecraft that does not occur naturally. With a bit of luck, you can find some blocks in ancient sites or forest estates. Likewise, journeyman librarians often sell three to five glass blocks for one emerald.

• Normally, you have to make glass yourself. You will need a furnace for normal glass blocks. In this you can then melt sand or red sand into glass, which you can find in deserts, on the beach and in the mesas.

• Place the desired number of sand blocks in the furnace. Add a fuel at the bottom and the process starts automatically. The sand blocks are melted down into transparent glass blocks

• You can craft thin window panes from the finished glass blocks. To do this, fill the bottom two rows of the workbench with six glass blocks to obtain 16 glass panes.

• You can also make glass bottles for potions by placing a block in the middle of the bottom row and to the right and left of the middle row. This will give you three glass bottles.

• You can build with the glass blocks, color it, tint it or create special items such as beacons, daylight sensors and ender crystals. This makes glass an important material

• Attention: As in real life, glass is also very fragile in Minecraft. If you mine a glass block, it will be destroyed and you will not get any resources back. You can only mine the block if you enchant your tool with care, which will not destroy the glass
