Stained Glass

[dpc1997 2]

For a long time i have felt that this key component of decoration has been left out. Stained glass is a beautiful decorative item is hey for those who build large palaces or for those who just like color in their buildings. So the way this whole deal works is a lot like the real life process with a few tweaks. The player must have lead melted down and a mix of some dye and water in a bowl or bucket. the player combines these two things with the glass and gets said glass in return. now if the whole melted lead thing doesn't work there could be a recipe only for lead that creates lead strips for the glass. lets be honest the lead is necessary. The only problems i see with this is the lighting issues it might create with colored light and all that but still i wanted to bring this topic into the light and see where it goes.

I'm not really an expert for this mod, but I guess stained glass will be added when the mod is ported to 1.7. 

Stained glass had its first appearance in 1.7.2. 

 

Lead beeing required for crafting panes is a nice idea tho.

You know dye is not the true way to make stained glass... right?

Gotta say I like this idea better.

i know that dye is not the true way but for the sake of not overcomplicating things that would be the easiest way and also give a use to some of the useless ores and minerals.

I don't know how to make stained glass but don't you use different minerals?

From Google to "WikiHow": 

 

"The term stained glass generally refers to the process of combining various shapes of already colored glass. The color of stained glass comes from the addition of metallic salts during its manufacturing. Stained glass is prominently displayed in church windows as huge mosaics, as well as in certain styles of lampshades and mirrors." 

 

If done properly, this could allow something like an 8x8 grid for putting down colored glass fragments. Why 8x8? Chiseled decorations and planks already work on the 8x8 grid. Still, this looks like one of those things which can very quickly eat up memory like with many chiseled stones or plank constructs. And given the game goes right to the 1GB level for me after roughly fifteen minutes of exploration/work . . . in a fresh game . . . that might be a bit of an issue.
