Connected Glass that does not require OptiFine and works with any resource pack!
Product
About
Vanilla Connected Glass makes glass blocks and panes connect seamlessly — no OptiFine or Continuity required! It’s fully compatible with all resource packs, using only vanilla cullfacing methods to hide faces when a block is to the left, right, above, or below.
Each glass model includes thin cuboids around the borders, textured with glass edges, creating a smooth connected effect. Diagonal pixels are handled with a few extra cubes to keep everything aligned perfectly.
✨ Features:
- Works with glass blocks and glass panes
- Supports all glass colours
- No OptiFine or mods required
- Fully compatible with any resource pack (place your pack above this one from version 0.8 onward)
- Clean connected edges using vanilla-only mechanics
- Lightweight and easy to install
⚠️ Because this method relies purely on vanilla cullfacing:
- Borders may be visible from inside the glass
- Glass will connect to any block, not just other glass (excluding blocks like leaves, iron bars, etc.)
While there are a few minor limitations, the pack remains 100% vanilla-friendly and perfect for creators or players seeking connected glass without mods.
Note: I know OptiFine and Continuity glass can look smoother, but this is the only way to achieve vanilla-connected glass. If you know a better method, I’d love to hear it! =D\

This will increase performance in most cases, especially on weaker processors as the game will now have a more direct place to search for texture files. Resource pack compatibility still works, just make sure to put the want you want compatibility with on the top.

I am happy to announce that Vanilla Connected Glass is now out of Beta!\
This is just a small update to add support for older versions down to 1.14 along with modern versions by changing the minimum number in the min_inclusive metadata.

Minecraft1.181.18.11.18.21.191.19.11.19.21.19.31.19.4
Changed the item model to use default block models instead of the special glass one.
This will not affect the block when placed, but is better for the item models because:
1. When multiple glass block items are down, this update will massively increase performance when compared to the original version
1. Multiple z-fighting in the item model will be fixed (there is still no z-fighting in the block model)
1. Any other visual issues will be fixed
