Mo Glass
A Minecraft modification that expands building possibilities by adding glass stairs and slabs to the game. Includes stained and tinted glass variants while maintaining all the transparency and translucency benefits characteristic of standard glass blocks in Minecraft.
Main Features
- Glass slabs of various types
- Glass stairs, including stained versions
- Tinted glass slabs (since version 1.6)
- Tinted glass stairs (since version 1.6)
- Full transparency like standard blocks
- Functional translucency for tinted variants
- Compatibility with the Translucent Glass mod (starting from Mo Glass v1.10)
Seamless Transparency
Both stairs and slabs possess the same transparency as regular glass blocks in Minecraft. When placing multiple elements next to each other, they visually merge into a single glass surface without visible seams.
Functional Translucency
Elements made from tinted glass block light when placed tightly together but allow light to pass through when there are air gaps between blocks.
Why Aren't These Blocks in the Standard Game?
It might initially seem that the developers simply forgot to add these elements. However, after implementing this modification, it becomes clear how technically challenging it is to create transparent stairs. Stairs in Minecraft are complex blocks with multiple orientation options and forms that weren't originally designed as transparent objects.
Each stair can be oriented in four directions, be straight or curved in four different variations, and have normal or inverted positioning. When calculating transparency, thousands of possible combinations of adjacent blocks must be considered—this complexity is likely the reason these elements are absent from the standard version of the game.
Connected Textures Support
Work is currently underway to add support for connected textures. Previously, this feature was unavailable because connected texture mods typically only work with full-sized blocks.
