How to Craft White Stained Glass in Minecraft

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

On a Crafting Table, 8 Glass and 1 White Dye turns into White Stained Glass. From the top down: three Glass; then two Glass down either side and a White Dye in the middle column; then three Glass. Each attempt hands back 8 White Stained Glass.

White Stained Glass Item ID and Give Command

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

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

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