✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-backed: 249 endorsements show this tweak hits the mark.
- Over 8,000 downloads means plenty of players wanted glass equality.

For players who love the look of glass but hate that it's weaker or more expensive than solid blocks. If you want to build sleek modern structures without penalizing your hull integrity, this is a straightforward fix. Skip if you're looking for new content or overhauls — this only adjusts existing stats.
💡 Beginner Tips
- After installation, verify by checking the block stats: glass should have same integrity and cost as opaque blocks.
- If the mod doesn't work, ensure it's loaded after any other mods that modify block properties.
