How do you make glass in Minecraft?
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can add some transparent flair to your Minecraft builds? Let’s dive into how you can make glass in Minecraft, a popular sandbox game where creativity knows no bounds.
So, you’re playing Minecraft and want to make your buildings look snazzy with some windows? You’re probably asking, ‘How do you make glass?’ We’ve got you covered!
The Short Answer: Crafting Glass from Sand
To make glass in Minecraft, you need to smelt sand in a furnace. That’s right, just plain old sand – the stuff you find at beaches or riverbanks in the game. Each block of sand you smelt turns into one block of glass.
This process is pretty simple. First, make sure you have a furnace. If you don’t, you’ll need eight cobblestone blocks to create one. Then, gather some sand blocks. Finally, place the sand in the top slot of the furnace and fuel (like coal, wood, or charcoal) in the bottom slot. Wait a bit, and voilà, you’ve got glass!
