A glass pane is a transparent block that can be used as a more efficient alternative to glass blocks. It can be dyed into stained glass panes.

Glass panes can be obtained using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. If one is broken without a Silk Touch enchantment, it drops nothing.

Glass panes do not have an assigned tool; they are mined at the same speed regardless of what tool is used.^[1]

Glass panes generate naturally as windows in villages, woodland mansions, and ancient cities.

Glass panes are more efficient to use than glass blocks, as six glass blocks can be crafted into sixteen glass panes, yielding 2²⁄₃ panes per block. Windows built using glass panes can be up to 267% (2²⁄₃ times) larger in area than windows built with regular glass blocks.

If placed without anything on the sides, they appear as a thin vertical • shape, 2×2 pixels in size; but when other blocks occupy adjacent spaces, it becomes flat or turns into a or or shape depending on the items surrounding it. The collision box is identical to the shape of the pane. Therefore, two glass panes placed with one empty space in between form a gap that is two blocks wide.

Glass panes are never oriented horizontally. Horizontal glass surfaces must be made from glass blocks.

Glass panes can be waterlogged, which means water can be in the same place as a glass pane, unlike regular glass.

Glass panes can be used in cartography tables to lock maps, which makes them unable to be filled again or altered when exploring.

This article describes content that is currently in development for Bedrock Edition.

 

This content has appeared in development versions for Bedrock Edition 26.50, but the full update adding it has not been released yet.

Java Edition Beta
1.8			Pre-release				Added glass panes, which use the same model as iron bars.
							Glass panes naturally generate in villages.
Java Edition
1.0.0			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2				Glass panes no longer drop as an item when destroyed.
			Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4				Glass panes now attach to some non-full blocks, mainly stone slabs, stairs, pistons, sticky pistons, farmland, iron bars, doors, signs, and fences.
1.3.1			12w17a				Glass panes can now be recovered by harvesting them with a Silk Touch-enchanted pickaxe.
1.7.2			13w41a				The model of glass panes is now always prismatic, as opposed to the prior thick-rimmed thin panes from earlier.
							All glass panes now connect to glass[verify] and iron bars.
1.8			14w03a				Glass panes now appear completely opaque.
			14w03b				Glass panes now render as normal again.[2]
			14w10a				The models of glass panes have been changed slightly; texture mapping has been modified, and there is now an outer plane for connected edges.
			14w10c				Glass panes now only cull each other horizontally in some directions, and for only certain state combinations.
			14w25a				Further changes have been made to the glass pane model: changes have been made to texture mapping, the shading is different, and panes are now subject to smooth lighting/ambient occlusion.
							Glass panes no longer cull each other horizontally at all.
			14w26a				The ambient occlusion change from 14w25a has been reverted, however glass pane culling remains as it was in that version.
			14w31a				Glass panes now cull each other horizontally in some cases from some directions. Several "inner" faces still remain, however.
1.8.2			pre5				Changed the texture mapping on most glass pane directional combinations.
1.9			15w31a				Glass panes without any connections are now a basic central post, rather than a plus shape as though connected in all four directions ().
							Glass panes now use a multipart system for model definition, changing the appearance of all 15 possible connection states.
							Glass pane horizontal culling has been improved considerably, now seemingly matching 1.7.2's seamlessness. Vertical/top-bottom face culling, however, remains nonexistent.[3]
			15w44a				The side faces of glass panes are once more affected by directional shading.
1.11			16w39a				Glass panes now generate in woodland mansions.
1.12			17w15a				Glass panes now connect to the solid back sides of stairs.
1.13			18w10c				Glass panes can now be waterlogged.
1.14			18w43a				The texture of glass has been changed, changing how glass panes look. The edge texture remains unchanged.
			19w02a				Glass panes are now used to lock maps in cartography tables.
			19w11a				Cartographer villagers now buy 11 glass panes for 1 emerald.
1.14.3			pre3				Torches can now be placed on glass panes.
1.16			20w15a				Walls now connect to the bottom and sides of glass panes.
1.18			pre5				The edge texture for glass panes has been changed.
1.19			22w13a				Glass panes now generate in ancient cities.

• 
  Glass panes in Beta 1.8 Pre-release.
• 
  Panes are thin, so it is possible for players or mobs to fit in a 1×2×1 space, which makes them useful for creating trophy displays, like this creeper here.
• 
  Water does not flow through the holes in the panes, but the player can fit inside them.
• 
  Sticky pistons being used with glass panes.
• 
  Five glass panes used in a monster spawner trap.
