Features

This datapack adds the following recipes:

  • Crafting table:

    • 6 glass panes ⇒ 1 glass block
    • Tinted glass is craftable with any dyed glass block, instead of just undyed glass.
  • Smelting (furnace):

    • Any dyed or tinted glassUndyed glass
    • Any dyed glass paneUndyed glass pane
    • Glass bottleGlass pane

Considerations

  • The bottle⇒pane and panes⇒glass recipes are meant to disallow you from getting all your glass blocks back (for balance and realism)
  • The 6 panes ⇒ 1 block recipe was chosen to represent the 6 sides of the block as one pane each.
