Description
Blue stained glass is a transparent block that gives a blue tint to everything that shines through. In simple words it is coloured glass used for windows, skylights and decorative panels. It lets light pass while changing the hue so your rooms look calmer and cooler. Builders use it to create aquariums, cathedral style windows and coloured roofs that catch sun and moon light. It is made by combining glass with blue dye which makes it easy to craft and to produce in bulk. When used with beacons it tints the beam which helps create colourful displays and in layered windows it creates subtle gradients that look pleasing from a distance. Blue stained glass is most useful where you need light but also want a specific colour mood across surfaces.
What is Blue Stained Glass?

Where to find Blue Stained Glass
This block does not generate naturally in most biomes and is instead crafted by players. You will usually see it in player built structures rather than in natural world generation.
How to get Blue Stained Glass
