Natural generation

Glass panes generate naturally as windows in villages, end cities and woodland mansions.

In 1.14‌^[upcoming], orange stained glass panes generate in savanna village temples. Yellow stained glass panes generate in plains and savanna village temples.

Usage

Glass panes are much more efficient than glass, as they can make windows of 267% the area of glass blocks because only 6 glass blocks are required to make 16 glass panes.

Placement

If placed without anything on the sides, they will appear as a thin vertical • shape, 2×2 pixels in size; but when something is placed on the sides, it will become flat or turn into a or or shape depending on the items surrounding it. The collision box is identical to the shape of the pane, allowing both items and players to fit through 2×2 glass pane holes.

Glass panes are never horizontal.

Trivia

• If two glass panes are placed with one empty space in between, a spider (which is 2 blocks wide) can still fit through.
• Glass panes are called "thinGlass" in the game's code, but all glass pane texture files within minecraft.jar begin with the prefix "glass_pane" (e.g. "glass_pane_top.png")
• Due to its flat appearance in the inventory slot, light gray stained glass panes almost appear invisible.

• 

  Panes are thin, so it's possible for players or mobs to fit in a 1×1×2 space, which makes them useful for creating trophy displays, like this Creeper here.

• 

  Water will not flow through the holes in the panes, but the player can fit inside them.
