Which you think is better?

[MazeCraft]

None I think the default texturepack for glass is just ugly (too many white lines). I choose iron bars and use them for all my windows etc.

If I had to choose between glass and panes - I prefere glass.

[orcleader]

I like glass panes, personally. Glass blocks just don't work when making windows.

[Dezibahn]

They both have their ups and downs...

For regular windows, like in a house, I use panes. If I'm making something like a viewport (for underwater structures, or chicken coops, or something like that), I'll use blocks.

Also, blocks are also brilliant if making glass bridges or towers.

[rodabon]

Maybe I'm just being 'old fashioned' but I still don't see a reason for glass panes being added.   I think its just that they don't look hardly any different from the regular glass block, because I like iron bars and use them quite a bit.

I think I would like glass panes more if they had a separate texture associated with them so that I could either add a window type frame to them or maybe make them look like stained glass.

We need a poll......

[Bro_Flygon]

I like the glass panes. They look nicer than blocks to me and add depth. I agree that they should add some sort of variation to them to make them completely different from the blocks, though.

[Joshandco]

If I use glass I will use glass panes.
That said I like iron bars A LOT better

[poojoobie]

I use glass panes because you get more out of it.

[FlytrapFilms]

It depends on what I'm making...
Glass roof - Glass
Windows - Panes
Domes for something - Glass
But overall, I like glass

[thereichs]

I use both. Panes are great for windows, but you can't build domes are bridges out of them, as you can with the blocks.

[RedAria]

I like glass more, because
A. When playing in Survival, it's less resource costly (I think) and
B. It fills the whole area you put it, and I don't like it when I have holes.
Also, I agree that panes need a separate texture, but they do server a purpose. For example, my friend once used it as railing for his floating house, because he hated fences.  And glass panes are more clear-looking.

[qwery123844]

glass panes all the way even for domes and bridges

[Bobithan]

Glass panes for windows and glass for everything else

[bigjeep]

panes for small windows, blocks for everything else.

[nickimmy]

Glass panes for windows and glass blocks for roofs.

Couldn't agree more with you here. I can't stand using glass in my buildings with those dumb white lines everywhere. Gotta use a texturepack for sure.

[iPadManiac]

I prefer blocks simply because glass panes are a pain (you see what I did there) when you're placing them near doors, and I just don't like the fact that they're quite out of shape with out blocks and won't place the way you want them to sometimes.

[Blackwind]

Like many have said they both work great in different situations.

[bobri]

Panes for windows and occasionally glass walls, but glass blocks for 3D glass structures.
