What is Blue Stained Glass?

Blue Stained Glass is a decorative block in Minecraft that features a deep, rich blue tint while maintaining transparency. It provides a bold and elegant alternative to regular glass, making it a popular choice for oceanic builds, medieval castles, and futuristic architecture. Like all stained glass variants, Blue Stained Glass allows light to pass through while adding a distinct color filter, giving players creative flexibility when designing windows, skylights, and artistic structures.

Where Can Blue Stained Glass Be Found?

Blue Stained Glass does not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. It is made by placing eight Glass blocks around a Blue Dye in a crafting table, yielding eight Blue Stained Glass blocks. Glass is obtained by smelting sand in a furnace, while Blue Dye can be crafted from lapis lazuli or obtained from cornflowers found in plains and meadow biomes. Blue Stained Glass can also be crafted into Blue Stained Glass Panes, which offer a thinner and more flexible option for detailed designs. More details about crafting and obtaining glass can be found in the Glass article.
