Minecraft is an open world where you can explore forests, seas and underground caves. Many players prefer to build amazing structures, some of which are replicas of real buildings. Glass is one of the most beautiful and affordable materials.
Instructions
Step 1
As in reality, in the game, glass is made from sand. It must be melted in a furnace using coal or a bucket of lava. One block of sand produces one block of glass.
Step 2
The easiest way to find sand is on the shore of a body of water or in the desert. This is a crumbling block in which you can suffocate, so it is better to dig it up from above so as not to accidentally fall asleep. If the beauty of the surrounding area is important to you, it is better to go further for sand. Or (this works mainly in the desert) shoot it in even layers so as not to disfigure the landscape.
Step 3
For quick extraction of sand, you need to make a shovel. It can be created from any material, including wood. But such a tool will break down quickly. To make a shovel, you need two sticks and a block of wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingot, or diamond. They need to be placed on the workbench along the central vertical of the square so that the sticks are at the bottom and the functional block at the top. It is much faster to get sand with a shovel than with your hands or a pickaxe.
Step 4
In addition to sand, you will need coal or a bucket of lava. Coal ore often comes out on the visible slopes of the mountains. You can get coal with any pickaxe. To craft it, you will need sticks and blocks of cobblestone or planks. As with the shovel, iron ingots or diamonds can be used. On the workbench, you need to fill the upper horizontal row with functional blocks, and set two sticks along the central vertical. Coal ore gives a lot of coal, from which torches can be made. You will need them to explore caves and protect your home from monsters.
Step 5
You can use a lava bucket instead of coal. At the initial stage, the easiest way to find the bucket is in the chests that are in the abandoned mines. They can scoop up lava. Lava lakes are most often found in caves, but rarely come to the surface. You need to be careful with this liquid, because if you fall into it without adequate protection and potions, it is very easy to burn. The lava bucket burns for a hundred seconds, thus replacing a fairly large amount of coal.
Step 6
After collecting enough coal and sand, use the stove. If you don't already have one, create one on the workbench by arranging eight cobblestone blocks in a ring. Install the stove, open its interface. Put sand in the upper cell (more than a "stack" or sixty-four pieces will not fit), in the lower - coal. Close the interface. To speed up the process, build several stoves next to each other and melt sand in them at the same time.
