Using Scratched Glass and Stained Variations for Classic Builds

Working with Scratched Glass

If you prefer the aesthetic of older Minecraft releases, Scratched Glass brings back the classic programmer art glass textures. While original retro glass displayed thick individual borders on every block, this variant connects seamlessly when placed together, combining vintage textures with modern connected borders.

Dyeing and Designing with Color

Every glass type in the mod—Connecting Glass, Clear Glass, Scratched Glass, and Tinted Glass—comes in all 16 dye colors as both full blocks and glass panes.

1. Choose the glass style that fits your build, whether you want streak-free Clear Glass, classic Scratched Glass, or standard Connecting Glass.

2. Craft the blocks in your chosen dye colors, such as orange, white, or light blue.

3. Lay down your colored blocks side by side. Like blocks of the same type and color will connect into unified sheets of colored glass, eliminating internal grid lines.

4. Combine different colors or alternate between connecting glass and vanilla glass blocks to create custom stained glass patterns, decorative mosaic murals, or framed display walls.
