Hardened Green Stained Glass

What is Hardened Green Stained Glass?

A Hardened Green Stained Glass block is a durable, explosion-resistant version of standard Green Stained Glass, exclusive to Minecraft Bedrock Edition and Education Edition. It retains the rich green tint of regular stained glass while offering increased strength, making it perfect for nature builds, jungle structures, and eco-friendly designs.

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

Where Can Hardened Green Stained Glass Be Found?

Hardened Green 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. Green Stained Glass – Crafted from Glass and Green Dye (obtained from smelting Cactus).

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

What Can Players Do with Hardened Green Stained Glass?

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

• Jungle and forest builds, where green glass blends with nature.

• Eco-friendly or greenhouse designs, complementing Leaves, Moss, and Bamboo.

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

• Camouflage bases, where green-tinted windows help structures blend into grassy landscapes.

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