Description
Magenta stained glass is a bright coloured transparent block that changes the light and look of any room while still letting daylight pass through. This glass is used by builders to add a vivid magenta tint to windows, skylights and decorative panels. It behaves exactly like regular glass when it comes to light transmission so interiors stay bright but the magenta tone gives a strong style that can tie together a colour theme. Because it is transparent it keeps sight lines open which helps with modern and open plan builds. It will not drop as an item unless you use silk touch which encourages careful planning when moving it around. Players can craft large amounts of it by dyeing standard glass with magenta dye making it simple to cover big surfaces. Magenta stained glass is popular in themed rooms, green houses, art installations and stained glass windows that are designed to cast coloured light across floors. The block is fragile when compared to stone and it has low blast resistance so it is not suitable for defensive purposes, but for decoration it is ideal. It can be stacked into panes and combined with other colours to make gradients and mosaics. In creative mode it is available from the inventory which makes experimenting with layouts quick and easy. In survival mode it is accessible once you have access to dye and a supply of glass, which makes it an achievable early to mid game aesthetic choice. Designers often use magenta stained glass with white accents to make the colour pop and with darker frames to give a contrast. It pairs well with wood and polished stone and works with modern and gothic styles. Overall it is a flexible decorative block that improves light quality and adds a strong colour identity to builds.
