Glass is one of the most important decorative details of any Minecraft building. There are many different variations of these items, but the developers felt that this was not enough. Therefore, with the release of version 1.17 of the game, they decided to further diversify the types of glass by adding the so-called “Tinted Glass”.
And since tinted glass in Minecraft is a completely new item created from new resources, many players need a detailed guide. So, if you are one of those players who are starting to learn the game or the 1.17 update, we recommend that you read this guide. The material contains detailed information on all the most important parts of tinted glass.
Tinted Glass Minecraft: Block Guide
Description
What is tinted glass? First of all, it is worth knowing that the peculiarity of this glass is that it does not let light particles through. Otherwise, it is an ordinary decorative block used to create a special interior. In addition, tinted glass refers to solid blocks, they can be stacked in 64 pieces and they are quite dark in appearance.
In addition, other mobs are unable to see the character through tinted glass. The developers made sure that tinted glass was the same opaque glass for them as some boards or cobblestones.
And finally, you can place ladders, beds, stage layers, lamps, levers, buttons, rails, pressure plates and red dust on top of the tinted glass blocks. In addition, if the tinted glass blocks are next to each other, then they will not be noticeable.
How to make tinted glass in Minecraft?
To create tinted glass blocks, you still need regular glass, but that’s only part of the crafting ingredients. In addition to regular glass, you’ll also need to get 4 amethyst shards. As for the recipe, it looks like this:
What to destroy?
First of all, you should know that tinted glass, like regular options, is the same fragile blocks. Therefore, in a fairly short time, they can be quickly destroyed not only with some tool, but even with your hand. On the other hand, the key difference is that after the destruction of tinted glass options, it is the blocks that will fall out.
How to get tinted glass in the game through the admin panel
You don’t have to waste time searching for the necessary materials to create tinted glass, but simply use the administrator mode with the appropriate command. As a result, you can get items in unlimited quantities, but before that, we recommend making sure that cheats are allowed in the world. Otherwise, you will have to create a new world where cheats are allowed. One way or another, the instructions will look like this:
- You should start by opening the developer mode, where you can enter a command – you can do this using the English key “T”.
- After clicking on the screen, a translucent window will immediately open with a line below – in it you need to enter the command “/give @p minecraft:tinted_glass” .
- And in the end, all that remains is to press the “Enter” key so that the character will ultimately receive tinted glass using the command.
But there are a couple more important details. First, each command in Minecraft must be written without quotation marks. Second, to get any number of tinted glass blocks, you should put a “Space” after the command and specify a number. For example, you can write “/give @p minecraft:tinted_glass 64” – as a result, the character will receive a whole stack of these items, but the number can be changed to any other.
Thirdly, sometimes it is impossible to register a command and use the administrator mode, but in this case there is a way out – this is a command block. You install it, register the presented command inside it, and it will activate by itself. This will happen at the moment when the signal from the red stone reaches the block.
Secrets and tips
- Tinted glass blocks have other color options, not just the standard one. So, if you want, you can make any color glass option from the available vanilla colors.
- In one of the updates, when tinted glass was first added, these blocks literally choked mobs under certain conditions. However, this error was later discovered and fixed.
One thing is certain – tinted glass blocks are a great decorative block. Players have a lot of opportunities with the release of update 1.17, and even the basic new glass block options greatly increase the number of ideas.
