About this Mod

Header

⏫Update 1.1.0⏫

This latest update fixes footstep particles, and adds glazed terracotta blocks. On the technical side, it also moves from nbt to purely data components.

❗This Mod Is In Beta ❗

More Dyes is a mod aiming to infinitely* increase the range of colored blocks available to the player! By using a dye basin you can mix dyes to create any color you'd like and apply the color to various colored block types.

*Infinitely as in 16777216 color options.

Example

💾 Installation

To install this mod, simply place the mod's jar file in the mods folder of your fabric installation, along side the Fabric API.

❓ How To Use

In order to mix a dye you will need a few things, namely a dye basin, and a dye vial. You must heat the dye basin by placing it above a fire, lava, or a magma block. After the basin is heated, and a bucket of water is placed in it, you can mix any number of vanilla dyes or custom dyes together to create new colors.

Dye Basin Recipe
Dye Vial Recipe

To extract the dye from the basin, simply right click it with an empty dye vial. The newly mixed dye can be used to mix other dyes, or to dye objects by crafting them together.

Dyeing Example

The dyed blocks can also be "rinsed" by right clicking a dye basin holding water.

TIP: Pressing F3 + H allows you to view the color code for a dye vial or dyed item.

⛔ Current Limitations

This mod is still under development. Not all features are complete. Current planned features include:

> Fixing footstep particles.

> Candles, and candled cakes.

> Add vanilla equivalent recipes (e.g. glazed terracotta smelting)

> Glazed terracotta.

> Beds.

> Rainbow dye.

> Shulker boxes.

> ⚠️ Banners. (Potentially, a lot of work, low priority.)
