Blocking Light with Connected Tinted Glass

Properties of Connected Tinted Glass

Tinted glass blocks light from passing through while still allowing players to see through the block. The Connected Glass Mod enhances this mechanic by adding connecting borders to tinted glass, along with matching tinted glass panes and full support for all 16 dye colors.

Building a Seamless Darkroom

You can use connected tinted glass to create mob observation chambers, dark farming rooms, or decorative dark windows:

1. Select your desired color of tinted glass or tinted glass panes.

2. Place the tinted blocks along the perimeter of the room where you need visual access without increasing internal light levels.

3. Place adjacent tinted blocks or panes side by side. Their edges will merge together into a continuous surface, ensuring no light enters the enclosure while giving you a clean, unobstructed view inside.

4. Verify the interior lighting. Because tinted glass stops light from passing through, hostile mobs will continue to spawn or dark conditions will be maintained inside the chamber even if the exterior area is fully lit by torches, lanterns, or sunlight.
