Building with it

Blue Stained Glass is dark enough to read as night sky and even enough to cover a whole wall without looking busy. A cornflower or lapis lazuli gives the dye, one craft gives eight blocks, and the block behaves like ordinary glass: instant to break, gone unless you use Silk Touch.

In practice

Blue glass is the darkest tint in the set and reads as deep water in an aquarium wall. Since blue dye means lapis or cornflowers, the cornflower route is what keeps a large blue window from competing with the enchanting table for resources.
