How to Craft Glass Pane in Minecraft

Glass Pane in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Thin glass for windows. Minecraft has used the name Glass Pane since Beta 1.8.

Glass Panes come from 6 Glass, worked on a Crafting Table. The pattern to copy is six Glass in a solid 2x3 block. A single craft gives you 16 Glass Panes.

Glass Pane Item ID and Give Command

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

Give yourself one: /give @p glass_pane
Give a full stack of 64: /give @p glass_pane 64
Give it to a named player: /give Steve glass_pane 1

Cheats have to be on for Glass Pane to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.
