About this Mod

🎨 Dyes 🖌️
Minecraft dyes can sometimes be pretty controversial. While they are definitely challenging items to get your hands on, they are also used purely for decoration. Meanwhile, in real life, you can mix dyes together to get new ones. See, Minecraft already adds plenty of such recipes, but a few are still missing - that's where Dyes comes in handy.
🖌️ Features 💫
Dyes is a tiny datapack that adds not a lot, yet just the right amount of recipes (and a few tags) that are enough to fix those little gaps Minecraft left behind. You can now dye concrete and concrete powder, mix dyes together, or craft them from other materials.

Dyes server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Dyes compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and quilt?
Dyes officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Dyes – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Dyes consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
