How to Craft Gray Stained Glass in Minecraft

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

On a Crafting Table, 8 Glass and 1 Gray Dye turns into Gray Stained Glass. From the top down: three Glass; then two Glass in the left and right columns and a Gray Dye in the middle column; then three Glass. That comes out as 8 Gray Stained Glass.

Gray Stained Glass Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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