Where Can Cyan Stained Glass Be Found?

Cyan Stained Glass does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. It is made by placing eight Glass blocks around a Cyan Dye in a crafting table, yielding eight Cyan Stained Glass blocks. Glass is obtained by smelting sand in a furnace, while Cyan Dye is crafted by combining Green Dye from smelted cactus with Blue Dye from lapis lazuli or cornflowers. Cyan Stained Glass can also be crafted into Cyan Stained Glass Panes, which provide a thinner and more flexible option for detailed designs.
