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.
