There are many decorative elements that you can use in Minecraft to make your place more elegant. Nobody wants to live in a simple dirt shack all the time in the game. While there is a chance that you can find Glass in various structures like Woodland Mansions or Villager houses, they will break unless you break them with a tool equipped with the Silk Touch enchantment. This is how you can make Glass to create windows and other elements for your world.
How to make glass in Minecraft
To get started, you’ll need to have a furnace, some fuel for that furnace (wood, charcoal, or lava in a bucket), and sand or red sand. Sand can be found in many places and can be dug up by hand, but it will accumulate faster with a shovel. The desert and beach biomes will have it in abundance. Wherever you find it, collect a lot to make more Glass.
Place the sand in the top slot of the furnace with the fuel in the bottom slot. It will start melting glass blocks. When the glass block appears in the slot on the right, you can move it to your inventory.
Now you have glass blocks that you can simply place wherever you want, but there is more you can do with them. Three glass blocks can be used to craft three glass potion bottles. Six glass blocks can be used to make 16 glass panes. These are flat surfaces that look like better windows. You can also color eight glass blocks with dyes on the workbench to make stained glass.
Other items that can be made from glass blocks are bollards, daylight detectors, end crystals, and toughened glass. Be sure to look up the other crafting ingredients needed for these items.
