Purple Stained Glass

 

What is Purple Stained Glass?

Purple Stained Glass is a decorative block in Minecraft that features a deep, mystical purple tint while maintaining transparency. It provides a bold and enchanting alternative to regular glass, making it an excellent choice for fantasy builds, magical towers, and royal structures. Like all stained glass variants, Purple Stained Glass allows light to pass through while adding a distinct color filter, giving players creative freedom when designing windows, skylights, and artistic structures.

Where Can Purple Stained Glass Be Found?

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