What is blue dye made from in Minecraft? Painting other items

A world not painted in thousands of colors and shades would be very dull. Minecraft can't complain about the lack of colors. This probably explains the small number of objects and blocks that can be painted using dyes. But they exist, and you need to use them. Here are examples of items that can be painted:

• Armor (leather)
• Wolf collar
• Star (for fireworks)

Wool dyeing

There are 13 natural and 9 mixed dyes in Minecraft. You will read in detail about colors below, and now in more detail about the use of dyes. The main use of “pigments” is in wool coloring. If the wolf collar or saddle is not decorated, it will not make you very cold or hot. But multi-colored wool can be useful to you in a huge number of cases. It’s hard to imagine implementing 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 a crafting grid. The order of the elements is not important. However, you can only dye white wool in Minecraft (interestingly, even white). In one approach, you can color only one block, and this is a negative aspect of this method. It makes more sense to do things differently.

Wool can be obtained not only by crafting, but also by shearing sheep. Not only do sheep produce 2-3 times more of it at a time than craft, but the dye is also consumed much more rationally. The fact is that sheep do not remain bald forever after being sheared. Their fur 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's not all. By painting the future mom and dad, the ewe and the ram, in different colors, you will get a lamb of the same color that you would get if you mixed the parent colors separately. Needless to say, the profit is fabulous. Here it would also be useful to note that in the natural conditions of Minecraft you can meet, in addition to white sheep, also gray, black, pink and brown. This is useful to know so as not to waste dye again. Well, to color this useful animal, you need to take the dye in your hand and right-click on the sheep. Just come closer to it so as not to spray the substance.

Painting other items

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

• The number of colors is much larger than the basic ones, since you can paint already painted armor. That is, the result always turns out to be somewhat 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. This way you can make very bright and colorful fireworks. And baked clay is an excellent (durable and beautiful) alternative to wool. Like wool, it can 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 obtained.

Dyes are primarily used to color wool, and later dyes can be used for coloring. There are seven natural dyes and nine shades obtained by mixing dyes. When painting armor, an even greater number of shades are used.

The color scheme of objects and dyes obtained from these objects and by mixing various dyes.

Craft from dyes

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

To get colored wool, you can also dye the sheep using dye. With the dye in your hand, walk up to the sheep as close as possible and right-click on the sheep. When shearing a dyed sheep with scissors, it can yield 1-3 blocks of dyed wool, but when crafted, it yields only one block of colored wool. In later versions, after being sheared, sheep will grow wool back and the player can obtain an infinite number of wool blocks using just one dye. Using dyes of different colors, you can get an infinite amount of wool of all the colors the player needs.

A lamb bred from parents with different colored wool will get a random color from mixing the parents' wool colors, for example a blue and red sheep will produce a purple lamb. IN Minecraft world Sheep only spawn in white, gray, black, light blue, light gray, less often brown and, very rarely, pink colors.

You can also use dyes to color the collars of tamed wolves.

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

Possible shades when painting leather armor dyes.

Since version 12w49a (1.4.6), dyes are used to create fireworks.
From version 13w41a you can paint the glass.

Dyes and colors

Primary colors

Primary colors can be obtained during the game or made from ingredients that must also be obtained first.

Icon	Name	Extracted from	Gives color	Description
			Red	obtained when crafting roses, you get two dyes per craft
			Yellow	dandelion craft
			Blue	lapis lazuli ore is mined (4-8 dye per block)
			Green	obtained by roasting a cactus
			Black	from a killed octopus, you don’t have to kill the octopus, but hit it from below, 1-3 dyes fall out
			White	When you kill skeletons, bones drop out
		Cocoa fruit	Brown	cocoa beans falling from jungle trees

Secondary colors

When primary dyes are mixed, secondary dyes are obtained.

Icon	Name	Mixing	It turns out
		Rose color + Dandelion yellow	Orange
		Cactus Green + Ultramarine	Turquoise
		Rose color + Ultramarine	Violet

Well, let's start with. So, first you should know that there are 7 main dyes in MineCraft, each of which can be obtained in one way or another.

Basic dyes:

Rose color(red) - Rose

It is extracted from the red rose flowers that grow throughout the world and can often be found in forests and plains. To get dye from a rose, just put it in the crafting grid.

Dandelion yellow(yellow) - Dandelion

Similar to flowers, roses are found all over the world and are crafted in the same way.

Ultramarine(blue) - Lapis lazuli ore

A natural mineral, most often located at level 19, but the main spawn is located from 32 and below. Mined with a pickaxe.

cactus greens(green) - Cactus

They grow in deserts, but can grow in any biome as long as there is sand. To obtain the dye, you need to throw the cactus into the oven and fry it.

Ink bag(black) - Octopuses

A water mob, you can find it in any body of water - from rivers to oceans and seas. To get the ink sac you need to kill the octopus (unexpected, right?).

Bone meal(white) - Bones(skeletons)

Skeletons are hostile night monsters. When you kill a skeleton, there is a chance that bones will fall out of it. By placing bones in a crafting grid, you can obtain bone meal, which is also used as fertilizer.

Cocoa beans(brown) - Treasure Chests

You need to look for cocoa beans in treasuries. In the snapshot, 12w18a also drops from tree foliage in the jungle.

The screenshots below show which materials the dyes correspond to.

To dye wool with any dye, you need to put white wool and dye in the crafting grid, the location does not matter.

In addition to the primary seven colors, there are also 7 secondary and 2 tertiary colors. If you think logically, it’s not difficult to guess that to craft secondary dyes we need primary dyes, and for tertiary ones, secondary ones.

Secondary:

Orange- crafted from rose colors And dandelion yellow.

Turquoise- crafted from cactus greens And ultramarine.

Violet- crafted from rose colors And ultramarine.

Grey- crafted from ink sac And bone dust.

Light blue- crafted from bone meal And ultramarine.

Pink- crafted from bone meal And rose colors.

Lime- crafted from cactus greens And bone dust.

Tertiary:

Lilac- crafted from purple And pink dye.

Light gray- crafted from bone meal And gray dye.

That's it! Having made yourself a ton of wool, quickly run to build masterpieces of pixel art and colorful houses, although it’s a little crazy, but it’s fun!
