This is the official Curse page for Fragile Glass and Thin Ice, by FredTargaryen.
Fragile Glass and Thin Ice provides:
- Fragile versions of glass blocks and panes, made by boiling sugar, which smash gratuitously if something hits them fast enough.
- Thin Ice, which can be configured to generate in patches on frozen bodies of water.
- Weak Stone(disabled by default), which generates on ceilings and may crumble under an unlucky miner's feet
- A config system to bestow fragility (or a different effect) on almost any blocks you choose, and define which entities can break fragile blocks.
It's great for adventure maps, videos, pranks, and as a quick, realistic glass substitute.
NB. Fragile Glass blocks are separate from vanilla Glass blocks and never replace them in the world.
However, when each world is created, if enabled, patches of Thin Ice/Weak Stone replace vanilla Ice and Stone in the same place.

You can get started with an example config file, created by incrediblestrandofhair. For 1.12.2, put this in your profile's config folder. For 1.14.4, put this in the serverconfig folder of any worlds where you want these settings, and this in the mod archive's data folder.
Is there a possibility to add a config that replaces the glass in the game with this? I've always wanted glass to break based on speed of a fall,flying into, or arrow hits, but it's incredibly hard to find such a mod/plugin that's being updated.
In reply to ravendwyre:
Hi! After running the game once, in your config folder, you should find a file called fragileglassft_blocks.cfg or something like that. If you open that up you can see how to make blocks fragile and change how they behave when things crash into them.
Just wondering if we can change the recipe ratio? Maybe 1 sugar block for 64 blocks is too efficient for some purposes
In reply to bluebird9281:
Hi! Maybe, though for a block that breaks easily and doesn't drop itself, it's probably quite fair. I'll look into making that configurable.
In reply to bluebird9281:
Hi again! The default is actually 16 Fragile Glass blocks, at least since 1.15.2. Either way, this is now configurable as of 1.16.3 (1.15.2 coming up).
In reply to FredTargaryen:
Wow, thanks a lot for the update! :) I'll try very soon
Is there any way you can add a configuration for fragile glass to replace all vanilla glass in the world? I'm working on a modpack for 1.12.2 where you spawn in the world generation from the lost cities mod. I want mobs to be able to punch or shoot through the glass and come after you.
In reply to memerteameryt:
Hi! Fragile glass blocks won't work in crafting recipes that involve vanilla glass blocks, so a better solution might be to keep vanilla glass blocks, but make them fragile. You can do this by editing fragileglassft_blocks.cfg and removing the # symbol from the appropriate lines under the heading "--Fun example lines you may wish to uncomment--". Hope this helps!
In reply to FredTargaryen:
Oh, the config confused me and i thought the # was needed in order to work! Thanks!
In reply to memerteameryt:
Sorry to hear that. It gets worse in 1.14.4+ when tags are involved... I'll think about trying to communicate that better. You're welcome!
when I launched minecraft it says it needs a language provider.
In reply to inokaeyt2:
Hi! Sorry, didn't see your message. Which specific version of Forge (e.g. 1.12.2-14.23.5.2768), and which version of Fragile Glass are you using?
Hello, if possible, how would I achieve stone brick slabs that crumble and break? They can't break instantly, it has to take a second or two. I want to make a crumbling bridge. I suppose I must use command blocks to make them respawn.
In reply to MajoraLuna:
Hi! I will think about how it could be done in the config files, but if I don't come up with anything I will consider creating some kind of WAIT behaviour. That would let me get away from using TileEntities for Weak Stone as well. If the WAIT command worked you would be able to make them respawn... something like WAIT FALL WAIT CHANGE
In reply to MajoraLuna:
Hi! In the latest version for 1.15.2, I have added a WAIT behaviour. To do what you are describing the config lines would be something like:
Is this compatible with Serene Seasons and Underground biomes? I'm not noticing any thin ice or weak stone generating.
In reply to Forge_User_49170633:
Also, is it possible to disable the debug message that shows up when you start a world? Stuff like that doesn't look good in modpacks.
In reply to Forge_User_49170633:
Hi; thanks for your feedback! I might not be able to get to these straight away so I'll list them as issues on the github. I'll make a flag in fragileglassft.cfg to not show the debug message on startup if the config files loaded successfully.
In reply to FredTargaryen:
Thank you! I'm looking forward to it and will make a great addition to the Rebirth of the Night modpack!
In reply to Forge_User_49170633:
Update: I've added a server config to stop the "file loaded successfully" displaying when players join the world. Are you trying Serene Seasons and Underground Biomes on 1.12.2 or 1.14.4? I'm not maintaining this for 1.12.2 any more, but I haven;t been able to load either mod on 1.14.4 yet.
