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.

Obtaining

Breaking

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]

Usage

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.

A single space between two glass panes results in a 2×1 hole, which spiders can pass through.

Placement

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.

Locking maps

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

1.0.0Beta 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.
1.3.112w17a Glass panes can now be recovered by harvesting them with a Silk Touch-enchanted pickaxe.
1.7.213w41a The model of glass panes is now always prismatic, as opposed to the prior thick-rimmed thin panes from earlier.

14w26a The ambient occlusion change from 14w25a has been reverted, however glass pane culling remains as it was in that version.
