How to Craft Blue Stained Glass in Minecraft

Blue Stained Glass in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own block model. Colored transparent windows. Minecraft has used the name Blue Stained Glass since 1.7.2.

Feed a Crafting Table 8 Glass and 1 Blue Dye and Blue Stained Glass comes back. From the top down: three Glass; then two Glass down either side and a Blue Dye in the middle column; then three Glass. You end up with 8 Blue Stained Glass each time.

Blue Stained Glass Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Blue Stained Glass is minecraft:blue_stained_glass. In commands the namespace may be left off, so blue_stained_glass works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p blue_stained_glass
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p blue_stained_glass 64
Give it to a named player
