How to Craft Red Stained Glass in Minecraft

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

With a Crafting Table placed, 8 Glass and 1 Red Dye are what Red Stained Glass needs. Read it row by row: three Glass, then two Glass down either side and a Red Dye in the middle column, then three Glass. A single craft gives you 8 Red Stained Glass.

Red Stained Glass Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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

Overview

Red Stained Glass is a colored transparent block for windows and decoration. Red Stained Glass uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

Minecraft has used the name Red Stained Glass since 1.7.2, the oldest release whose language file lists it. The recipe itself last changed in Minecraft 1.14. Guides written before that release show a different set of ingredients for the red stained glass, so check the grid above rather than the video.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with glass (smelt sand) and red dye (craft from various materials).

The Yield Per Stack

64 glass is 8 crafts here, or 64 red stained glass once the grid stops. You supply 8 red dye to go with it. Craft 8 clears the box of glass.
