Ultimate Glass 0.2.0

The big glass-building update is here! Version 0.2.0 greatly expands how glass panes can be placed, connected, framed, and combined with other blocks.

What’s new

Tempered Glass Panes

• Smelt or blast-smelt vanilla glass panes to create Tempered Glass Panes.
• Clear, stained, and tinted variants are supported.
• Tempered panes can be placed vertically, horizontally, or against any side of a block.
• Normal right-click places the pane perpendicular to the closest clicked edge.
• Shift + right-click places it directly against the clicked face.
• By default, Tempered panes always drop themselves regardless of the tool used. This can be disabled in Mod Menu.

Better shapes and connections

• Place panes along block edges or convert them into centered sheets.
• Panes form clean seamless lines, L-shaped corners, and three-sided cube corners.
• Centered panes only extend toward actual glass connections, avoiding unnecessary “+” shapes.
• Clear, colored, tinted, and framed panes keep their proper appearance at seams.
• Full waterlogging support for edge-bound and centered panes.

Wood-framed panes

• Combine a Tempered pane with a plank to add a wooden frame.
• Includes all vanilla wood types.
• Also supports compatible planks added by other mods.
• Modded frames use the plank’s own texture and cleaner names such as Umbran-Framed Tempered Glass Pane.
• Internal borders disappear between matching connected panes while exposed edges remain framed.

Tinted Glass Panes

• Six tinted-glass blocks craft 16 regular Tinted Glass Panes.
• Regular tinted panes behave similarly to vanilla panes.
• Smelt them to create Tempered Tinted Glass Panes with the full Ultimate Glass placement system.

Glazier’s Tools

• Copper tools rotate panes.
• Iron tools rotate panes and toggle between edge-bound and centered placement.
• Diamond tools provide the same controls while also mining supported glass faster.
• The rotation axis key can be configured.

Experimental stair and slab combinations

This feature is available in Mod Menu and disabled by default.

• Combine Tempered panes with stairs and non-double slabs inside the same block space.
• Glass only appears in the open parts of the host block.
• Impossible stair and glass combinations are automatically skipped.
• Right-click with a Glazier’s Tool to rotate the glass through valid positions.
• Shift + right-click with an iron or diamond tool toggles between edge-bound and centered glass.
• Breaking the combined block returns both the pane and the original stair or slab.
• Combined blocks retain their normal collision behaviour, including allowing items to pass into hoppers below.

Additional options and fixes

• Added an optional recipe for converting unframed Tempered panes back into regular panes at a 1:1 ratio. Disabled by default.
• Fixed framed-pane gaps and stray pixels at connected seams.
• Fixed transparent-pane corner seams.
• Fixed modded frame textures changing when panes connected.
• Fixed modded framed items displaying incorrect textures in inventories.
• Improved pane placement, drops, save/reload behaviour, and dedicated-server support.
