Cloud Glass in FTB Skies 2: Aero

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Cloud Glass is part of the pack's mod list. This pack ships version 1.0.2, built for Minecraft 1.21.1 (file CloudGlass-1.21.1-1.0.2.jar).^[1]

It isn't a new addition. It was already in the pack in version 2.25 or earlier, so it has been around for a while.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what Cloud Glass adds, who it suits, or how it fits into the pack's progression. I have no in-jar guidebook, platform description or pack changes for it, so I'm not guessing at its blocks or items. I also have no confirmed recipes, configs or quests for it, and nothing placing it on the ATM Star path.

Cloud Glass is all about crafting colored glass blocks in this pack. Every color has its own recipe, so your first steps are simply picking the colors you want and making them.^[2]

Your first crafts, in order

1. Start with White Cloud Glass. It is the one color with no dye recipe, and every dye recipe for the other colors builds on it, so it is the natural first craft.^[2]
2. Next, craft the colors you want directly. Each color has a standard recipe, for example Blue Cloud Glass and Red Cloud Glass. These recipes use wool of the matching color.^[2]
3. If you would rather use dye, every color except white also has a second recipe whose id ends in _from_dye. It starts from White Cloud Glass instead of colored wool.^[2]

Here is the White Cloud Glass recipe exactly as it appears in the pack:^[2]

Here's the honest picture for this one: the only thing the sources show about Cloud Glass in this pack is its crafting recipes. No machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item-handling systems are documented for it, so there's nothing to explain on the automation side.^[2]

How you get Cloud Glass

Every color of Cloud Glass, from White Cloud Glass to Black Cloud Glass, has its own direct recipe. These are all regular shaped crafting recipes, so a plain crafting grid is all you need.^[2]

Recoloring with dye

There is also a second route for the colored variants. Each recipe with a name ending in "from dye" starts from White Cloud Glass and takes a dye of the target color. Here's black as an example:^[2]

Cloud Glass doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack. The only thing the sources show for it is a set of crafting recipes, one per color, so your progression is simply picking the colors you want.^[2]

Starting point: White Cloud Glass

White Cloud Glass has a direct recipe and no dye route. Every other color has a direct recipe too, plus a dye-based recipe that starts from White Cloud Glass.^[2]
