Gray dye. How to make gray dye in Minecraft

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 the world of Minecraft, sheep spawn only in white, gray, black, light blue, light gray, less often brown and, very rarely, pink.

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 with 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

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

Every plant or object is a new color
Hence:

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

How to paint - using dyes

So, to dye wool, you need to place white wool and the desired dye color in your inventory. As a result, you will only be able to dye one block of wool. It is much more profitable to paint a sheep. In this case, you need to bring the dye very close and press RMB. Next, take scissors and trim the animal. The result is two or three times more wool than in the case of crafting in the standard way. In addition, wool tends to grow back. Moreover, it grows back already colored. If you decide to cross lambs of two different colors, you will get a baby of a completely different color. Using this algorithm, in the new version of the game you can also color wolf collars.

When painting armor in a workbench, we first place the armor element and then the dye in random order. The armor can be repainted. If you haven’t washed it in the boiler first, then the second color will turn out to be an average between the previous one and the desired one.

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

Description and characteristics:

You've probably often noticed that players use wool of unusual colors, and sometimes wear rather bright leather armor: pink, purple or even blue? Of course they did! And you're probably wondering how you can achieve the same result? And here everything is simple - you just need to find out how to make dye in Minecraft.

In this case, you should turn directly to the gifts of nature: we put all the significant things at home and run to the world of Minecraft for flowers! To get dyes, flowers need to be placed in the left cell of the workbench, and then on the right we will get the necessary resources.

So, what you will need to collect - roses, dandelions - is in the standard biome. But in the desert, look for cacti, since we will use them to make green dyes in Minecraft.

To get green dye, you will need to literally bake cacti in an oven, then as a result you will get the source for the green color.

Also, when it starts to get dark, we pick up a sword. Better yet, take a bow, and fearlessly go fight the skeletons. As a drop, they always drop bones, from which you can get bone meal, which is used not only as a plant growth accelerator, but also as a white dye.

So, how to make a black dye in Minecraft? In this case, you need to go straight to the water, quite interesting mobs live there - squids, from which the ink sac drops, which is what we need.

What’s interesting: you don’t have to kill the octopus, that is, the squid, you can swim up to it from below and hit it from there, then you can get from 1 to 3 bags as a drop.

How is blue dye made in Minecraft? I think most attentive players have already guessed: it can be filled with a pickaxe in the mine, and it is lapis lazuli.

So, let's watch a very useful minecraft video together: how to make dyes with your own hands:

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in such a matter as making dyes in Minecraft.

True, let's clarify: now we have considered the primary, that is, primary colors, but to get secondary colors, you will just need to combine two sources.

Let's look at the table to see how you can get this:

And here are the tertiary shades for you:

So, we figured out how to make dye in Minecraft, now let's talk about some ways to use it.

In the latest versions of the game, it is possible to paint a sheep: You simply point at the mob and right-click (right mouse button). Why do this? We explain: you will spend 1 dye on one sheep, but when shearing with scissors you can get as many as two blocks of dyed wool. That is, we give one, but we get two. Profitable? Aw, of course! And keep in mind that after a while the sheep will grow again, so over time you will not have a shortage of dyed wool!

Sweetie in painted armor

Also, if you dye another sheep, say, blue, and then “marry” them, you will end up with a cute purple lamb.

In addition, you can use dyes to tint baked clay, as well as glass, which will give you the opportunity to create an extraordinary home that no one else will have! Of course, it’s not worth talking about the fact that painting armor is possible!

So, in this way, knowing how to make dye in Minecraft is very useful, as you have seen!

Minecraft color codes, or Minecraft formatting codes, allow any player to add flowers and format text in every possible way directly in Minecraft. Color codes &0-9 - to &a-f. Add them before your text. Messages from players can contain color codes that allow you to add color to your sentences.

Colors and formatting codes

The ampersand sign (&) followed by a hexadecimal number in messages signals the client to switch colors when displaying text. Additionally, text can be formatted with an & followed by a letter. You can add different colors to books, command blocks, server name, server description (motd), world names, signs, and even player names.

It's very easy to format your text in configs or in game using the color chart below. &r is used to reset all codes, i.e. &mAAA&rBBB will be displayed as AAA BBB.

We present a table of color codes in Minecraft for your convenience:

How to paint - using dyes

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

When you play Minecraft, you may come across objects painted in bright and attractive colors. Naturally, at the same time, you may have a completely normal desire - to paint something with your own hands in the color you like. But not everyone knows exactly how to do this. Many people don’t even realize that in this game you can get dyes and use them for their intended purpose. Therefore, it is worth considering in detail how to do it. Also, special attention should be paid to the types of dyes, since they are also different.

Dyes in the game

Everyone who has seen something bright in the game wonders how to make dye in Minecraft, but not everyone finds the answer to this question. And the answer lies on the surface, because most of them are done in the simplest way - by crafting a single item. But here the question arises: what exactly needs to be crafted to get the dye? After all, it can then be used for a variety of purposes, for example, for dyeing wool, armor and other items. This will allow you to make your life much brighter, and at the same time diversify the gameplay. So it's time to learn how to make dye in Minecraft.

Natural dyes

In total, you can paint something in more than twenty colors, but not all of them are simple. The fact is that in the game only thirteen shades can be obtained in nature, the rest must be obtained in more complex ways. How to make dye in Minecraft from what the game gives you? It's very simple - you only need one workbench, because the paint itself is produced from specific resources. For example, you can get red dye if you craft a poppy or tulip, which can be easily found in the field. Yellow color is easy to achieve from dandelion or sunflower. You may find a table that lists all the natural resources that simple dyes give you, or you can experiment without spoiling your impressions. Perhaps, in addition to interesting colors, you will also receive something that you did not expect at all. However, it is important not to focus solely on the crafting table, because by burning a cactus, for example, you will get a green dye. Minecraft gives you a huge number of possibilities, so use them all.

Composite colors

As mentioned earlier, in nature you can only find materials for the production of thirteen natural dyes. But there are also nine components that simply cannot be done. Seven of them are made only slightly more complex than the basic ones. For example, by mixing bone meal and cactus greens you can create lime coloring. Minecraft, however, offers you two more unique colors that are the hardest to make. If you take the path of experimentation and don’t look at the table, then it will be very difficult for you to choose the right ingredients. After all, to make lilac dye you will need to mix two ready-made shades, purple and pink. What can we say about for which you need to add bone meal to the gray. This is how difficult it is to acquire knowledge of painting in Minecraft. How to make blue dye is one question, but how to achieve brighter and more unusual colors is a completely different matter.

How to color an object

It's worth starting with the fact that not all objects in the game can be painted, so you will have to accept the fact that some of your experiments will be unsuccessful. The most striking example of a thing that is constantly dyed is wool. It is obtained from sheep, but is often dyed even before they are shorn; for this purpose, the dye is used directly on the sheep - and its wool takes on a new color. It is worth noting that it will continue to be passed on to her children, and if you cross her with a breed of a different color, you can get something extraordinary. If you need to paint an object specifically, then place it in the workbench along with the dye, and if its color can be changed, then the process will be successful.

Armor painting

We should also consider the process of painting armor. It is important to know that you can only change the color of leather armor, so do not try to recolor others, such as metal or gold. Also note that this feature only appeared in one of the latest versions, so if your client was downloaded a long time ago and has not been updated since then you will not have a chance to change the color of the armor. Well, it’s worth noting that there are many more colors available for painting armor than for crafting, so your imagination will have more room to work. In addition, this fact gives hope that in subsequent versions of the game the number of dyes will increase noticeably, and you will be able to decorate your home, as well as the surrounding area, in a more original way, painting walls, fences and even sheep in different colors.

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 used much more efficiently. 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 is not all. By painting the future mother and father, 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, 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 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.

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 flour(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!
