Minecraft: making glass - how it works
If you want to build windows or conservatories in Minecraft, you must first make glass. How this works and what you have to consider with the fragile blocks, we clarify in this practical tip.
Make glass in Minecraft
There are two types of glass available in Minecraft: the classic glass blocks and thin glass panes. You manufacture both differently.
- For normal glass blocks you need an oven. To do this, place eight pebble blocks on the edge of a crafting table. Then place some blocks of sand in the top of the oven and coal on the bottom. Each block of sand is automatically melted into a block of glass.
- You can then produce thin window panes from the finished glass blocks. To do this, fill the bottom two rows of a crafting table with glass (see photo). You will receive 16 sheets of glass each.
- Note: As in real life, glass is very fragile in Minecraft. If you mine a glass block, it will be destroyed and you will not get any raw materials back.
