I was with a friend of mine whose occupation is a glassblower, and i was wondering, why cant we dope glass in minecraft?
you could use current dyes to dope glass, or even allow multiple items to be smelted together in the furnace, you could have glowstone doped glass so at night you could make street lamps or even dope glass with glowstone and a dye allowing for different coloured lighting.
here are some ideas for glass doping:
glowstone: glow in the dark glass
gold: two way mirror
iron: mirror
coal: tinted glass
redstone: vertical circuit

This would be nice, but the extra properties would require their own new blocks, whereas the various glass colors could all be reskins and subsets of the original glass. So yes to color, no to added stuff.

this game is beta, this is the time to attempt things like that. do things no one has done before. DO YOU HEAR THAT JEB?? DO EEEEEET!
Actually beta is the time to thoroughly debug the game, not add novelty features and take vacations every few weeks. Your ideas are good but let's be realistic here, they will not be considered this year by Mojang and will probably never be officially implemented, though there is a very very faint chance of it being in a post-release expansion.

remember, the game isnt fully implemented yet either. its only a matter of time before a minecraft knock-off applies that, and its something minecraft doesnt have, making the knock-off better

this would open up so many possibilities
(although it's a great idea)
especially with your mirror ideas, while cool, they could never be accomplished by Notch nor Jeb without destroying the game for 8 months
