How to Craft Green Stained Glass in Minecraft

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

At a Crafting Table, Green Stained Glass asks for 8 Glass and 1 Green Dye. From the top down: three Glass; then two Glass in the left and right columns and a Green Dye in the middle column; then three Glass. A single craft gives you 8 Green Stained Glass.

Green Stained Glass Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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