  Clear glass blocks would be a great addition to the game, especially for creating custom windows that show off beautiful distant vistas without a window design taking attention away. I'd love to build a lodge in a snowy area with those huge great room windows.

  We already have glass as a crafting material, PLEASE add a building material that can be crafted with it! Just a solid see-through texture that lets light pass through but not players (obviously). Please don't add a grid or accents to the normal/bump map either, just cracks and chips and a glass-like specularity.

  Your building does such an amazing job allowing us to build grand structures in the medieval style. Stained glass, god-beam rays, panes interspersed with frames... such a part of the great cathedrals. etc.

  I didn't see a suggestion that fit what I wanted so I'll add it here since it's related to glass.
  
  Please include lore themed stained glass windows that we can unlock by collecting lore.

  I agree, being able to craft glass and building materials/structures would add aesthetics for people that enjoy building and creating spectacular structures.

  Glass walls and possibly roof would be amazing. I'd really like to have a observatory (greenhouse) for my seedlings. Glass windows, plain and leaded would be nice too.

  I came here specifically to say guys, what the heck, why is there nothing to build with the glass? I NEED A GREENHOUSE. And yes, "need" is the appropriate word.

  Doors with plain, textured and colored / stained glass plz! This would add so much to the game. Also transparent gates of all sizes as pass-thru. Odd that what I first got is the huge gate for dead people LOL

  Would love the ability to make glass blocks to fit in custom windows to make building houses feel more cut off from the outside while not sacrificing views, especially when it comes to the mountain biome. If we could make huge bay windows with glass inlayed, that would be amazing. IF we can go a step further, building in freezing areas in the mountain biome and adding glass and enough fire places to stop interiors from being freezing, it would be absolutely amazing. Please consider it Devs if you are not already!

  Adding stained glass would be an amazing extension of transparent blocks! Players could use dyes to craft colored glass (red, blue, yellow, etc.) for creative builds like mosaics, vibrant windows, or unique lighting effects. It would bring more depth and flexibility to decorative structures.

  Can we get clear glass blocks in the game? See through pure glass blocks to build with. As far as ive seen we don't have them ingame. Colored glass blocks yes, but just .... Glass... No.

  merged sug. to add glass windows to one asking for a glass block as the same? Windows have a single purpose. glass blocks do not. I'm for both!

  Bro cleverly decided to include the glass blocks as in-game content instead of paid DLC. Smart move, but it's not going to happen.

  I want glass blocks but additionally can they also be roof tiles? I want to make a proper rooftop greenhouse.

  Transparent or opaque. I tried putting the luminescent blue blocks under ice, hoping you'd get a faint glow through the ice, and was disappointed that I didn't. I would love to be able to do that.

  How about glass sheets so we can put them in the window frames?

  I must admit, I don't get it. If the glass is fully transparent, you can use the windows frame or a hole in a wall.
  
  A "warm room" is a complete other suggestion, it required a complete closed room, no freeze protection from the altar, a stove and a closed door.

  With the ability to make underwater bases this has become even more important. The airlock doesn't work well as a window as it obscures the view too much. The existing windows you can see through don't work as they let the water in!
  
  If we could just add glass to the existing windows to make them water tight without changing the rendering that would allow us to build underwater bases for now.
  
  I think a big time sink here would be making the glass visible in some way, which would be nice, but right now I just want to look out of my base and see the beautiful lakes we can now explore!

  Please make windows "solid" while staying as transparent as they are: i had the idea of using free place mode to make some ceiling windows, now it rains inside and i get the "wet" debuff inside my base. ><

  With the Wake of the Water Update, this is more relevant than ever, glass blocks would add so much freedom and creativity to the system, water tanks, aquariums etc. that we could use a selfmade aqueduct to fill, maybe usable gates or even mechanic blocks that can move together to form gates to stop and start water flow? Anyway, seeing the water fill those glass constructs we build, be able to look through and see inside to see the water slowly filling it up, yes please to all of this.

  Now that we can have pet fish it would be nice if we could make clear glass to make fish tanks. I also think there should be a wood shingle roof and a tropical wood building block that isn't just a repaint of the Tudor style blocks half timbered I think.

  Glass structures for swimming pool walls, sunroofs, sidelights, glass walls, sunrooms, patios, garden rooms, greenhouses, etc..
  Clear blue, fogged, stained, and distorted would be great for many applications.

  Clear blocks you can see through to make glass objects such as windows, water tanks, or fish aquariums.

  There are many window frames to choose from, I think we should be able to open them and install glass, which is already an item, to change their model and make it appear as if they are actual windows now and not just frames. As much work as the team has put into graphics for this game, I'm sure a transparent surface would not be a roadblock.

  Glass blocks would be a great addition.
  
  However, it would also be cool if you could build lava blocks, mud landscapes, ice blocks, and similar things into your base.

  Not sure maybe I still have not unlocked (being at "bronze" age, lvl 26) but glass for windows is missing. I see there will be sand.
  Maybe you could add sand earlier and create glass for windows, and I personally would even love to see that potions need glasses too....
