Primary vs. mixed dyes

Some dyes come straight from a source — green from a smelted cactus, blue from lapis lazuli or a cornflower, brown from cocoa beans, black from an ink sac. Others are mixed in the crafting grid from two or more dyes (purple = blue + red, magenta = purple + pink, and so on). Mixing happens in the 2×2 inventory grid — no crafting table needed.

What you can dye

Dyes color wool, carpet, terracotta, concrete powder, stained glass, beds, banners, candles, shulker boxes, leather armor, and the collars of tamed wolves and cats. Many of these colors line up with the chat color codes used in text formatting.
