Window Display

Window Display

Windows you can open, put things on, and mount either way round

A complete overhaul of Window Storage and Vanilla Pane Storage - 79 styles across 14 woods and 11 glass colours

What You Get

The Windows

Single block

Tall

Built by stacking two or three finished short windows in the grid. Each one is a single block: it goes down from one item when there is room for all of it, breaks as one, and opens together.

Vanilla Pane Display

The game's own glass pane, made usable. Build it from a vanilla leaded pane over a plank, or from scratch with a glass pane.

Edge Versions & Swapping

Hold Sprint and right-click the frame with a wrench. No crafting, no breaking anything, and it works on a whole tall window at once. It refuses if there is anything on the sill or a pane is open, so you cannot lose your things to it.

An edge window mounts on the other side of the wall - and because it is twice as deep, it takes items an ordinary sill will not, like folded clothing or a backpack. Its panes open out into the block in front, just as an ordinary window's do.

Both kinds go round the same loop, and so do their 2 high and 3 high versions at their own height. A tall window is one block, so the whole of it always swaps together.

Glass Panes

Every window starts with a glass pane. Put a chisel, a hammer and some glass anywhere in the crafting grid - each tool loses one point of durability - and the panes come out in the glass's own colour. All 11 glass colours work. For a leaded glass pane , put a glass pane and a lead ingot in the grid.

Crafting

• A window is 1 glass pane, 6 planks, 1 nails and strips and 1 resin , and makes one. One recipe covers every wood and glass colour - the planks must all be the same wood, and the window comes out in it. The nail goes top-left and the resin top-right, planks fill the rest, and the pane sits where the glass is on the window - the centre for the Hopper, top middle for the Awning, and so on (the Casement: pane top-left, nail beside it). The handbook shows each one.
• The Left and Right Windows: C B D / B B B / A B B and C B D / B B B / B B A - C nails and strips, B planks, D resin, A the glass pane, which goes in the bottom corner on the window's own side.
• Leaded windows - make the window with a leaded glass pane, or with a vanilla leaded pane in place of the glass pane. Either orientation of pane works.
• Tall windows stack two or three finished short ones in a column. No new ingredients, and you get one item back that places the whole thing.
• Shutters are 7 planks, a nail and resin, resin top-right - the nail's place picks the shutter: top middle the Shutter, the centre the External Shutter, middle left or right the Large External Shutter (Left / Right). Two or three of one kind in a column make the tall ones.
• No edge or wide recipes - those come from the wrench, so there is nothing extra to make.
• Biodiversity Trees (bdtree), Wildcraft: Trees and Shrubs and Vanilla Varnished woods are craftable if you have those mods installed - every style, from the same recipes.
• The creative tabs show every window in every game wood and glass colour, plus one window for each wood mod. Each window has one handbook page that flips through all of them and says what it can be made with.

Controls

You can do all of this with something in your hand. Placing, taking and opening never fight each other.
