White Stained Glass at a glance

White Stained Glass, a block out of crafting, sits under Utility Blocks. Stack White Stained Glass 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

White is the colour the game starts from: sheep grow white wool on their own, so White Stained Glass needs no dye at all, and white dye (bone meal or a lily of the valley) exists to lighten the other fifteen. The game rates White Stained Glass at 0.3 hardness. Explosives face the same figure, which is why White Stained Glass is not a wall you rely on. It sits between White Concrete Powder and White Tulip in Utility Blocks, number 330 of 340 there.

Building with it

White Stained Glass is the palest of the sixteen and the one that changes a window least: light still comes through, but the pane reads as frosted rather than clear. Eight glass around one white dye give eight blocks, it breaks in one hit and drops nothing unless the pickaxe carries Silk Touch, and a beacon beam passing through it turns white.

In practice

White glass is barely tinted at all, which is exactly its use: it softens light without changing its colour, and it stands out against a dark wall where plain glass disappears. Bone meal makes the dye, so it is one of the cheapest colours in the set.
