Hardened Cyan Stained Glass

What is Hardened Cyan Stained Glass?

A Hardened Cyan Stained Glass block is a durable, explosion-resistant version of standard Cyan Stained Glass, exclusive to Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Education Edition. It retains the cool, blue-green hue of regular stained glass while offering increased strength, making it perfect for oceanic builds, futuristic structures, and secure bases.

Unlike regular glass, Hardened Stained Glass does not shatter when broken and always drops as an item, even without Silk Touch.

Where Can Hardened Cyan Stained Glass Be Found?

Hardened Cyan Stained Glass does not generate naturally and must be crafted using the Education Edition or Bedrock Edition’s chemistry system. To craft it, players need:

1. Aluminum Oxide – Obtained using the Element Constructor.

2. Boron Trioxide – Created in the Compound Creator.

3. Cyan Stained Glass – Crafted from Glass and Cyan Dye (obtained by combining Blue Dye and Green Dye).

These materials are then combined in a crafting grid, yielding Hardened Cyan Stained Glass.

This glass block is both decorative and functional, making it ideal for:

• Underwater and ocean-themed builds, where cyan glass enhances marine aesthetics.

• Futuristic sci-fi bases, pairing well with Quartz, Iron Blocks, and Sea Lanterns.

• Explosion-proof windows for secure builds, protecting against creeper and TNT blasts.

• Cyberpunk or high-tech city designs, complementing Dark Prismarine and Glowstone.

Since Hardened Glass comes in 16 different colors, players can mix different stained-glass types to create custom explosion-resistant designs.
