Compressed Glass

Hi all,

I think compress glass might be a good and useful block, crafting recipe could be glass blocks (clear or tinted)  in 2x2 or 3x3 crafting pattern, which ever the dev's think would be best. The idea behind my suggest for compressed glass would be to use as a magnifier, whether for site/vision or light sources, for example making a refractor telescope to see across the vast lands or oceans, more powerful than the spyglass by a set number block increase in range and of course the more compress glass you stack the greater the magnification (could set limits) AND/OR the main reason for submitting the feature is to be used to magnify a light source and direct light sources in a specific direction for example a light house using a redstone lamp as the light source in conjunction with compressed glass would increase the light source by a number of light levels and aid in directing the light from all sides of the redstone block not as pronounced as a beacon (if beacons could be mounted sideways, hmmm) but visible from an ocean say 50 blocks out (again using more compressed glass could increase focal point and distance maybe), even the idea of helping send a beam of light into a ravine, cave or dark deep oceans. The uses could be endless and enhance game play, create prisms, mirror effects (turning light 90 degrees for example), etc... maybe even in the future chance of making lasers to clear out that forest, burn Pillagers when raided (i.e.: turrets), etc, lol.
