Glass Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft glass with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, glass is one of the many building blocks that you can make. This block is not made with a crafting table but rather with a furnace. There is more than one way to craft glass.

Let’s explore how to add glass to your inventory.

Where to find Glass in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find glass in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.8 – 1.19	Building Blocks
Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Colored Blocks

• Platform is the platform that applies.
• Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
• Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Required Materials to make Glass

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft glass:

1 Sand
1 Red Sand

How to craft Glass in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make Glass

Next, place the sand or red sand in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the sand/red sand.

Once the sand/red sand is cooked in the furnace, the glass will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Glass to Inventory

Now that you have made glass in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made glass in Minecraft!
