Glass is a handy item to have in Minecraft—and, best of all, it’s super easy to make with sand and a furnace. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to make this helpful resource in Minecraft, along with other similar recipes, like stained glass and glass panes.
How to Craft Glass in Minecraft
To create glass, add fuel to the lower slot of your furnace and place sand blocks into the upper slot—the furnace will create glass automatically. To make glass panes, fill the bottom 2 rows of a crafting table with glass blocks.

Entire top row: Glass blocks
Entire middle row: Nether quartz
