Glassential Renewed FAQ

Craft the glass door using the same wood planks as the door style you want, plus glass, following the mod's door recipe shape. The result is a framed glass door in that wood variant, and it opens and closes like a normal wooden door.

Use the dye color you want in place of, or alongside, the glass in the door or trapdoor recipe to produce the matching colored variant. Each dye color has its own glass door and glass trapdoor, so you can match any build palette.

Ethereal Glass is walk-through glass: players and mobs can pass through it like air, but it still blocks light and looks like solid glass. Use it for hidden passages, mob-proof windows, or secret entrances in builds.

Ethereal Glass lets entities pass through from any side, while Ethereal Reverse Glass only lets them pass through from one direction, acting like a one-way barrier. Use Reverse variants for controlled entry points or drop shafts.

Craft Clear Fluid Glass and then place it against or interact with a fluid source so the fluid shows inside the block. Clear Fluid Fake Glass gives the same look without actually holding a fluid, useful for decoration.

The Glassential Brush is used to apply or change the colorable properties of Colorable Glass, Colorable Stained Glass, and their panes. Right-click the block with the brush to cycle or set its appearance without breaking and replacing it.

Place the Colorable Glass or Colorable Stained Glass block, then use the Glassential Brush on it to change its color or tint. This lets you recolor glass in place instead of crafting a new block for every color.

Ghostly Glass is a translucent glass variant that hides or obscures what's behind it while still letting light through, useful for privacy windows and spooky builds. It comes as blocks, panes, doors, and trapdoors so you can match the whole build.

Yes, Glassential blocks are designed to sit alongside vanilla glass and glass panes, and Glass Slabs let you fill half-block gaps that normal glass can't. Mixing variants like Ethereal, Ghostly, and Colorable in one build works fine as long as you plan which faces are walk-through.

The mod is lightweight since it mostly adds blocks and simple behaviors, so performance impact is minimal even with many glass blocks placed. Compatibility issues are rare, but walk-through blocks like Ethereal Glass can interact oddly with mods that assume all blocks are solid, so test in a creative world first.
