Use Stained Glass Blocks vs. Panes Effectively

Understanding the Difference

Stained glass blocks are solid and opaque—they fill entire spaces with color and pattern. Stained glass panes are thinner and connect to adjacent panes with visible frames, creating a window-like appearance. The pack updates both to maintain visual consistency.

When to Use Each

Use Blocks for:

• Large solid color sections in walls
• Creating thick, bold visual statements
• Filling entire wall sections where you want uniform color
• Building decorative panels or accent walls

Use Panes for:

• Actual windows and openings
• Creating detailed grid patterns and frames
• Adding delicate architectural details
• Building intricate designs where individual pane patterns matter

Combining Both

Mix blocks and panes in the same structure for visual variety. Use a solid block section as a base, then add pane details on top for layered complexity. The pack's patterns work together seamlessly, so combining them creates naturally cohesive designs.

Tip: Panes look best when you can see the decorative frames clearly—avoid placing them in areas where they'll be obscured or too small to appreciate.
