For the fabric version, go here.
Several mods, such as Extra Utilities, add a bunch of cool glasses to your game. Like glass that you can see through but blocks light or glass that emits light.
Have you ever wanted to get that cool stuff, but without all the overhead of putting a major content mod in your modpack? Well look no further than Glassential.
Currently adds the following glasses, with more planned:
- Luminous Glass: emits light, just like Glowstone.
- Redstone Glass: emits a strong redstone signal, just like a Block of Redstone.
- Dark Glass: doesn't let actual light go through, ideal for mob farms.
- Ghostly Glass: non-solid to all entities of any kind.
- Ethereal Glass: non-solid to players.
- Reverse Ethereal Glass: only solid to players (and fluids).
- Dark Ethereal Glass: the properties of both Dark Glass and Ethereal Glass.
- Dark Reverse Ethereal Glass: the properties of both Dark Glass and Reverse Ethereal Glass.
1.14.4 info:

- Dark Glass: doesn't let actual light go through, ideal for mob farms.
- Ghostly Glass: non-solid to all entities of any kind.
- Ethereal Glass: non-solid to all sneaking players/entities.
- Reverse Ethereal Glass: only solid to sneaking players/entities (and fluids).
- Dark Ethereal Glass: the properties of both Dark Glass and Ethereal Glass.
- Dark Reverse Ethereal Glass: the properties of both Dark Glass and Reverse Ethereal Glass.
1.12.2 info:
Currently adds the following glasses, with more planned:
- Clear Glass: just a clean textured glass.
- Luminous Glass: emits light, just like Glowstone.
- Redstone Glass: emits a strong redstone signal, just like a Block of Redstone.
- Dark Glass: doesn't let actual light go through, ideal for mob farms.
- Ghostly Glass: non-solid to all entities of any kind.
- Ethereal Glass: non-solid to players, perfect for doorways.
- Reverse Ethereal Glass: non-solid to non-player entities, perfect for floors.
Additionally it also adds the Glass Cutter, which is like Shears but for glass blocks of any kind. It can pick up placed glass as if it had silk touch.
All items and glasses can be individually disabled in the config, if you don't want all of them or you already have other mods adding some. Glasses are also all fully compatible with ConnectedTexturesMod (which I highly recommend).

Waiting for 1.16 man!!!
Hello,
Glassential is a great mod, i wonder if i can repost this mod to MCBBS which is the largest Chinese Minecraft forum.I think my friends will llike it.
And , I will not take any credits and i will clearly state this post. Looking forward to your reply and i will be really appreciate if you can give me the premission.
1.16 plz
May I suggest a feature?
Bubble glass, similar to ghostly glass but contains a fluid. This way people could place floating cubes of water without it going everywhere, or if people want walls of lava
Hello! 1.16.1 any time soon? :0
Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for keeping a separate project for forge and fabric. This makes life a lot easier for modpack maintainers.
This is not available with the lastest version of forge for minecraft 1.14
Thanks for your work
Any plans for a kind of glass that can only be placed in creative mod and cannot be broken by people in survival on a server? I have problems creating rooms with bedrock that cannot be broken or escaped - especially with GoProne mod. So I need to cover even some of the 1x1 openings with an unbreakable glass.
Unfortunate that the clear glass was removed. I liked the look of multiple glass pieces looking like one rather than a bunch of separate blocks. Would love for it to be added back.
In reply to MorgFu:
- Vanilla glass is now clear so there was no point to it anymore
- CTM has not been ported yet so connected textures are not possible yet
will the glass cutter be added to 1.14.4?
In reply to feyarts:
Someone didn't read the changelog carefully. Yes at a later date.
In reply to Lykrast:
owh sorry, yep totally didn't read them. first time downloading your mod. you got an awesome mod here :)
I guess I won't need G*bber then huh? huhuhu...well this looks cool, wish CTM update to latest version of minecraft unless there is a replace mod that idk about do tell.
Couple ideas. Would it be possible to make variations of these blocks that would act like normal glass if a redstone signal was applied? It might be useful if these could be switched on or off.
Also, in that line of thought, glass that changes color or transparency level according to redstone signal? Possibly even a block that could cycle through all (or most) of the colors according to signal strength?
The glass added by this mod doesn't appear to work with Chisels & Bits
Any plans for panes? And if so please make them compatible with the "Horizontal Glass Panes" mod or make them so they can be flipped horizontally.
Btw, excellent work, love it, I and many others appreciate your work.
In reply to lsi5974:
I didn't have a plan for panes but if you want I'll see what I can do when I get back to that mod.
I suggest you make an issue on the issue tracker with a link to the mod you're referring so it's easier to remember and you can know when it's done.
Swwwwweeeeeet. Can you please try (if not thats okay) to make 1.14?
Nice mod. Would you consider adding Ethereal Dark Glass? Mob farms need doorways too, sometimes.
