Smelting

How to Make Green Dye in Minecraft

Green Dye is the one dye you smelt rather than craft. Cook Cactus in a furnace to produce Green Dye.

You'll need

  • 1× Cactus
  • Fuel

Station / tools

  • Furnace

Yields: 1 Green Dye per Cactus

Step by step

  1. 1

    Harvest Cactus

    Cactus grows on sand in deserts and badlands. Break it and collect the dropped Cactus blocks.

  2. 2

    Smelt the Cactus

    Place Cactus in a furnace with fuel. Each Cactus block smelts into one Green Dye.

Tips

  • Green Dye is unique — unlike most dyes there is no flower or crafting source, only smelting Cactus.
  • Use Green Dye to color Wool, Concrete Powder, Terracotta, Beds, Banners, and more.

FAQ

Is there a flower that gives Green Dye?

No. Green Dye is only obtained by smelting Cactus in a furnace.
