What it does

The mod adds a simple vanilla-friendly recipe route for black dye: coal can be converted, and ink sacs can be turned into black dye as well. Players who hunt squid in the deep ocean get a use for the sacs they collect. Coal To Paint is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Coal to black dye

    Coal can be crafted into black dye, giving a black colorant without hunting for ink sacs.

  2. Ink sac conversion

    Ink sacs convert into black dye, so squid hunting in the deep ocean yields a second use for the drops.

  3. Vanilla-friendly recipes

    The added recipes follow vanilla crafting patterns, saving time while expanding crafting options.
