Unidye

Unidye adds an ability to mix any dyes (alike leather armor dyeing) to get custom blends! Craft your own dyes and use them to dye wool, terracotta, make fireworks, banners, etc. The amount of minecraft dyes isn't finite anymore!

Getting Started

First of all, I heavily recommend using Polymorph to avoid vanilla dye recipe conflicts. If you do not use Polymorph, you will need to use a stick as an additional item when crafting custom dyes from vanilla dyes only.

You can also use custom dyes when mixing new custom dyes! In this case you will not need a stick regardless of Polymorph being installed or not.

Using Custom Dyes

Looking closer at your custom dye

If you look at your custom dye, you can see that it has different colors depending on its use. This reflects the way that vanilla dyes have inconsistent colors depending on the way we use them (e.g. all terracottas are more muted than their concrete counterpart). This means that, for example, dyeing terracotta will result in a custom terracotta with a corresponding color.

Crafting custom-colored blocks

You can use custom dyes to make dyed terracotta, concrete powder, glass, etc.

Recoloring custom-colored blocks

You can redye already dyed custom blocks, just like you can redye leather armor. The resulting block will have a color that is a mix between applied dyes and the color of the custom block.

Other uses

Dye your pets collars, your sheep's wool, craft custom colored fireworks, dye beacon beams, and do all other sorts of dye related things with custom dyes! (see gallery)

To clean any custom or vanilla dyed items just right-click a water cauldron.

You can use the following command to give yourself custom block with any color you want (where the color is in decimals)

/give @p unidye:custom_concrete{display:{color: }}

Porting and Compatibility

Forge/Neoforge ports are not coming in near times due to my lack of knowledge of these loaders, but maybe someday it will happen.

Planned Minecraft Versions: 1.20.x, 1.21.x and up

Compatibility: Mods like Dye Depot that add new base dyes are semi-supported at the moment, but I will work on making a full compat. Mods that add their own uses to vanilla dyes are going to be compatted with at my own pace, since I cannot account for all the mods that add new uses. If you are a developer, and you would like to work on compatibility with Unidye and your mod, you can leave a feature suggestion at GitHub.
