They are the same as Tinted Glass from Minecraft 2.0, the joke version they gave to LPers.

They still look like crap.

What's with this new recipe for tinting/staining stuff? You need at least 8 clay blocks/glass to get them stained? That's stupid.

Point being that transparency finally works, so you could do stuff with texture packs or new semi-transparent vanilla blocks.

1 Dye -> 8 Clay/Glass. They don't want to forget with the conversion rate. Some dies are annoying to get (initially), and only needing 1 dye per 8 of the object works for them. Otherwise they'd break dyes up into 8ths, which would be a lot of wasted space to manage.

I'm sure tinted glass will be something all resource pack creators will look upon and make better.

That's most likely going to get fixed.

It's essentially the same as needing 6 glass to make panes. And as MS stated, it makes it so that you get more glass/clay out of your dyes.

Are you talking about this?

I can't wait. I need to switch my name from Craftineer to DanTheMann1218.
I dont know if I would switch my name from Magickal to something else.

Also, I made a default-friendly version of my house.

I dont think it looks as good, but whatever.

I haven't seen a roof like this very often, if at all.

I agree. I prefer roofs like this one.

That's a different bug, actually. At least, it wasn't related to semi-transparency - It's transparency as a whole. It has been noted in videos they watch among other places, and considering they've finally managed the current fix, they should be able to hammer out particle layering.

I actually like those kinds of houses because they are easy to expand, grow, make more fancy. You start with a small blocky dirt hut, add another level, start changing out walls. That's what I'd do on servers: Start out with a stuffty little place and expand and improve it as I go along.

Then again, I usually made underground places. Better concealed, only materials you need are digging equipment and whatever you'd need for the projects - not so much decoration and structure materials. Over time, replace walls and such.

So guys, is the tinted glass properly made?
Back in like 2011 some people went full handicap and got angry Notch said it was impossible to add stained glass, because someone had modded it into the game.
The reason it was impossible to do properly is that water doesn't render behind objects with a transparancy anywhere between 0 and 225.
So did they fix that, or are they adding even more low-quality content?

[Kimono]

if they were to add any more low quality content the only thing left to add would be you
