With Mojang’s introduction of the Caves & Cliffs update, the Minecraft community warmly welcomed the new changes, adding three new mobs and items like a spyglass, copper, and tinted glass.

In this guide, we will craft the tinted glass and where to find the things required to craft it. We will also discuss the uses of tinted glass and where to find the items necessary to craft them. We will add screenshots so you can find and craft the necessary items like we always do.

How to Make Tinted Glass in Minecraft

Tinted glass was added to the Minecraft world to limit the light in some areas, and you will need the following items to craft it.

1. Crafting Table
2. Amethyst shards
3. Glass

How to Make the Crafting Table:

The crafting table is a must when it comes to survival in Minecraft, and it can easily be made by following our guide on how to make the crafting table.

Where to Find the Amethyst Shards

You can find them underground in any biome, but they are most easy to find in the sea, and to find them, you need to look at the structure as seen in the image below:

And it can easily be spotted because it is different from the other sea blocks, and once you have found it, you must dig it to get your hands on Amethyst shards.

You can harvest these flower-like shards using an iron pickaxe; better, at least two shards would be dropped when you use a pickaxe.

How to Make a Glass in Minecraft

You can easily make the glass by following our guide; how to make a glass in Minecraft.

Now that we have all the required items, we will craft the tinted glass, and for that, you need four amethyst shards and one glass.

Uses of Tinted Glass

We have crafted the tinted glass, and you can only, unfortunately, use it to create a dark environment: Tinted glass limits the passing of light through it so you can create a place with low light, and if you don’t like working in light, then it is a must for you.

When you break a tinted glass, it will, unlike the real world, drop tinted glass as it is a block.

How to Craft a Strained Glass in Minecraft

You can create different-colored glass in Minecraft to beautify your base, and crafting them is easy.

Materials Required to Craft Stained Glass

You can craft the strained glass using the following items.

1. Eight pieces of glass
2. A dye of your choice

You can craft the colored glass for your base by crafting eight pieces with the dye of your choice, and you can learn how to create dyes in Minecraft. We will craft red and purple stained glass, as seen in the pictures below:

Difference Between Tinted Glass and Stained Glass

Tinted Glass	Stained Glass
Blocks light	Doesn’t block light
Has only black color	Has multiple colors of your choice
Made from amethyst shards and glass	Made from dyes and glass

 

Can Mobs Spawn on the Glass?

No, the mobs cannot spawn on the glass, so if you don’t like being interrupted by mobs, then build your castle with glass.

Conclusion

Tinted and stained glasses are used to decorate your base, and it also lets you see the outside world from inside your base so that you know if an enemy or a mob is heading your way, although the mobs don’t spawn on the glass that doesn’t mean that they can’t see you inside so be careful.
