How to make pink dye in minecraft. By the way, about wool: in minecraft, green dye can be used to dye wool in a very tricky way.

First of all, dyes are used for dyeing wool, and later dyes can be painted. There are seven natural dyes and nine shades obtained by mixing paints. When painting armor, an even greater number of shades are used.

The color scheme of items and dyes obtained from these items and by mixing different dyes.

Craft from dyes

To dye wool, it is placed on a workbench or in inventory. Only white wool can be dyed. Items are arranged randomly, the order is not important here. One block is painted.

To get colored wool, you can also dye a sheep using a dye. The dye should be in hand, get as close to the sheep as possible, and right click on the sheep. When shearing a dyed sheep with scissors, you can get 1-3 blocks of dyed wool from it, and when crafting, you can only get one block of colored wool. In later versions, after shearing sheep, wool grows back and the player can get an infinite number of blocks of wool using just one dye. Using dyes of different colors, you can get an infinite amount of wool in all the colors the player needs.

A lamb born from parents with wool of different colors will receive an arbitrary color from mixing the colors of the parents' wool, for example, a purple lamb will be born from blue and red sheep. In the world of Minecraft, only white, gray, black, light blue, light gray, rarely brown, and very rarely pink sheep spawn.

You can also dye the collars of tamed wolves with dyes.

For dyeing, one piece of armor is placed in the crafting grid along with dyes. The order of placement is not important. Armor is painted in a variety of shades, when crafting, you can lay a lot of dyes at once, you can repaint already painted armor, new colors will mix with the previous one and you get a certain average shade. You can wash painted armor in a cauldron, while water is wasted.

Since version 12w49a(1.4.6), dyes have been used to create fireworks.
From version 13w41a it is possible to paint the glass.

The world, not painted in thousands of colors and shades, would be very dull. Minecraft can't complain about the lack of colors. Perhaps this explains the scarcity of items and blocks that can be painted using dyes. But they are there and we need to use them. Here are some examples of items that can be dyed:

  • Armor (leather)
  • wolf collar
  • Asterisk (for fireworks)

Wool dyeing

Minecraft has 13 natural and 9 mixed dyes. You will read more about colors below, and now more about the use of colorants. The main use of "pigments" is in the coloring of wool. If the wolf collar or saddle is not decorated, you will not be very cold or hot from this. But multi-colored wool can be useful to you in a huge number of cases. It's hard to imagine design projects in Minecraft without taking advantage of the possibilities offered by dyes.

To dye wool, and other items from the list, it, like the dye, is placed in the crafting grid. The order of the elements is not important. However, only white wool can be dyed in Minecraft (interestingly, even white). In one approach, you can color only one block, and this is a negative point of this method. It makes more sense to do otherwise.

Wool can be obtained not only by crafting, but also by shearing sheep. Not only do sheep give it at a time 2-3 times more than craft, but the dye is spent much more rationally. The fact is that sheep after shearing do not remain bald forever. Their coat grows back. Moreover, the color in which you once painted the animal. Do you understand what the profit is? By spending one unit of dye in Minecraft, you can get an almost unlimited amount of wool.

But that is not all. By painting the future mother and father, the sheep and the ram, in different colors, you will get a lamb of the color that you would get if you mixed the parental colors separately. Needless to say, the profit is fabulous. Here it would be useful to note that in natural conditions, Minecraft can be found, in addition to white sheep, also gray, black, pink and brown. This is useful to know so as not to waste the dye once again. Well, to paint this useful animal, you need to take a dye in your hand, and right-click on the sheep. Just get close to her so as not to spray the substance.

Painting other items

Leather armor in Minecraft can be colored with v. 12w34a. For dyeing, you should randomly place one unit of armor and one or more dyes in the grid. There are several points here:

  • The number of colors is much more than the base ones, since already painted armor can be painted. That is, the result always turns out to be some kind of average.
  • The ability to use many dyes at once allows you to quickly get the desired result.
  • Colored armor in Minecraft can be washed in a cauldron of water.

It is very useful to use dyes when crafting fireworks. In this way, you can make very bright and colorful fireworks. And baked clay is a great (durable and beautiful) alternative to wool. Like wool, it allows you to achieve a wide variety of design goals. True, the sheep product, as has been shown and proven, is more profitable to use, since it is easier to make.

Types of dyes

Well, now more about the "pigments" themselves. Colors in Minecraft are primary, secondary, and tertiary. Here are the primary dyes (there are thirteen of them), as well as the ingredients from which they can be made or mined.

Special dyes are used to dye wool and leather armor. In minecraft, there are many types of dyes. For example, 22 types of dyes are used to dye wool. Thirteen of them can be obtained naturally, nine - obtained by mixing different shades. But there are many more options for painting armor. The dyes themselves are made by crafting in a workbench or processing in a stove.

Each plant or object is a new color
Hence:

  • Cactus - color green
  • Rose, poppy, red tulip - color red;
  • Peony or tulip pink - the color is pink;
  • Lapis lazuli is the color of ultramarine;
  • Bow - lilac color;
  • Bone meal - white color;
  • Ink bag - black;
  • White tulip - color light gray;
  • Sunflower - yellow color.

How to dye - applying dyes

So, in order to dye wool, you need to place white wool and the desired dye color in your inventory. As a result, it will turn out to dye only one block of wool. It is much more profitable to dye a sheep. In this case, you need to bring the dye very close and press RMB. Next, take scissors and cut the animal. Get two or three times more wool than in the case of crafting in the standard way. In addition, wool tends to grow back. And it grows already painted. Having decided to cross lambs of two different colors, you get a cub of a completely different color. Using this algorithm, in the new version of the game, you can also dye the collars of wolves.


When painting armor in a workbench, we first place the armor element and only then the dye in random order. Armor can be repainted. If you did not wash it in the boiler beforehand, then the second color will turn out to be an average between the previous one and the desired one.

Another option for the use of dyes in practice is the use of fireworks in crafting, as well as coloring clay and glass.
