Description[]
Glass Blocks are a very weak, forgeable building material. They can be used as a window, but like all window panes, it acts like a piece of furniture, letting the rain through. The Glass Block sits on the edge of the block, providing a smooth surface on one side. A better option for windows is the Shower Glass Block which acts like a solid block and is easier to see through.
Block Varieties
The Glass Block comes in a number of different varieties, each with the same durability and features. The only difference is the shape and hit boxes, which may allow you to shoot through them or walk up them. There are rare cases, when a variety has different properties, see Notes below for specific information.
