Reinforced Glass
alaindustrial:reinforced_glass
Summary
Reinforced Glass is ordinary clear glass set into a thin steel frame of Tempered Iron. You see through it just as well as through vanilla glass, but it does not break from a punch and does not shatter in an explosion: a creeper or TNT will not blow through it.
It is a building block (workshop windows, viewing walls) and a material for future recipes of the mod. It has nothing to do with the reactor room shell — that takes Reactor Glass.
Block Properties
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Shape | full 16³ cube,, translucent (force_translucent in the model) |
| Hardness | 3.0 (vanilla glass — 0.3) |
| Blast resistance | 30.0 (vanilla glass — 0.3) |
| Tool | pickaxe (required for the drop) |
| Drop | the block itself (no Silk Touch needed) |
| Sound | glass |
| Light | passes through |
A blast resistance of 30 is the same as the reactor shell's: enough to withstand a creeper and TNT, but not a charged creeper right next to it, and not the Wither.
Unlike vanilla glass, reinforced glass drops itself: the steel frame does not break, so Silk Touch is not needed.
Energy
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Role | none |
| Buffer (EU/FE) | 0 |
| Max input / output (EU/FE/tick) | n/a |

Progression
- Tier: none (a passive block).
- Requires: Tempered Iron plates and ordinary colorless glass.
- Unlocks: the recipe unlocks as soon as a Tempered Iron Plate appears in the inventory.
