So, how many times have you been building with glass and accidentally break a glass block, thinking "Ah crap, sand wasted"?
Well, introducing...a way to salvage glass (plus smokey glass)!
When you break a glass block, an item drops that is called "shards of glass". When you craft them together like glowstone, you get glass powder. Smelting this glass powder gets you smokey glass, which, when crafted together like a furnace with a water bottle in the middle, you get 8 regular glass blocks!
How this could be useful: It would save resources. Every glass block broken is a glass block wasted, and this would be a way to regain that glass block.
Additional info:
Smokey glass: This would look like normal glass, but be only translucent. Light will be let through, but you could not see out of it. This could also be useful for making different builds.
Shards of glass: has the same drop rates as glowstone dust.
Glass powder: May also be able to be combined with a dye to produce colored glass powder, which could be smelted to produce the wanted colored glass/smokey glass
Thoughts?

Ever hear of something called running away? Its like running towards them, but without the confrontation and death.

Curse PremiumMy terminology may be a bit off, it is supposed to be a block that will let light through but isn't able be seen through.
Semi-translucent maybe?

Curse PremiumI guess translucent also means that but you don't want ANY image, right? Translucent is semi-transparent which makes things slightly blurry.
Why not have diamond tools be the only tool type that can salvage glass?
It makes sense, hence diamond cuts glass.
It does, but this could be helpful if you accidentally break a glass block, or for making the smokey glass.
