Needs to be updated with the new 1.14 dying recipes/methods 		File:258inv.png

Dyes are items that are used to change the color of a variety of blocks, items, or mobs in Minecraft.

In 1.14, the dye system was overhauled, changing many names and procedures for creating/using certain dyes.

Overview[edit | edit source]

There are 16 different colors of dye:

Uses[edit | edit source]

Dyes can be used to re-colour a variety of items, blocks and mobs, such as:

Certain dyes (such as white) are also a required material when crafting other dyes.

Depending on the object, dyeing is achieved by either right-clicking on the target while the dye is held or by placing the dye in a crafting table along with other materials.

Crafting[edit | edit source]

Dye ingredients can be found from a wide variety of sources. There are a few different procedures used in the production of dye, depending on the color. A crafting table may be required to mix ingredients, others may be ground up without one, and others may need to be baked in a furnace first. The image and table below give a breakdown of the requirements for each color of dye (until the release of update 1.14).

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • To revert dyed leather armor back to its original state, hold the armor piece in-hand and right-click a cauldron with water in it.
  • Sheep can be dyed by right-clicking them with the dye of choice in hand. If one wants a bunch of wool in one colour, this method is more practical than dyeing wool blocks themselves.
  • Tamed wolf collars can also be dyed using the same procedure.
  • before 1.14 cocoa bean, bonemeal, lapis, inksac could be used as a dye
