Hardened Gray Stained Glass Pane

What is Hardened Gray Stained Glass Pane?

A Hardened Gray Stained Glass Pane is a thin, explosion-resistant version of Hardened Gray Stained Glass, exclusive to Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Education Edition. It retains the neutral gray tint of regular stained glass panes while offering enhanced durability, making it ideal for industrial builds, dystopian cities, and fortified structures.

Unlike regular glass panes, Hardened Glass Panes do not shatter when broken and always drop as an item, even without Silk Touch.

Where Can Hardened Gray Stained Glass Pane Be Found?

Hardened Gray Stained Glass Panes do not generate naturally and must be crafted using the Education Edition or Bedrock Edition’s chemistry system. To craft them, players need:

1. Aluminum Oxide – Created using the Element Constructor.

2. Boron Trioxide – Made in the Compound Creator.

3. Gray Stained Glass Pane – Crafted from Gray Stained Glass using six Glass Blocks and Gray Dye.

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

• Modern city skyscrapers and office buildings, providing tinted, reinforced windows.

• Blast-proof windows, ideal for PvP bases, Redstone labs, and security enclosures.

• Dystopian or cyberpunk-style builds, complementing Concrete, Iron Blocks, and Glowstone.
