ColorMixing Mod
by NonKungCh
ColorMixing lets players combine dyes directly in the crafting grid, so blue and yellow can produce green without hunting for rare flowers.
What it does
Dye mixing works in the vanilla crafting grid: two or more dyes placed together yield a new color, following the logic an artist would use. Blue and yellow give a green tone, blue and white give light blue, and black and white give gray. Each recipe uses only basic dye ingredients, so no rare flowers or extra materials are needed to craft a color.
The mod is built to keep standard gameplay intact. It stays lightweight and close to vanilla behavior, which makes dye collection more efficient while leaving the rest of the crafting system unchanged. Language support covers English and Thai. ColorMixing is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and it runs server-side only, so players join without installing anything. The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
Key features
Dye combinations in the grid
Two or more dyes placed in the crafting grid produce a blended color, with no separate machine required.
Basic ingredients only
Every mixed color is crafted from ordinary dyes, so players do not need rare flowers to reach a color.
Artist-style blending
Colors combine the way paints do, for example blue with yellow giving green and black with white giving gray.
Vanilla-friendly design
Mixing follows the standard crafting flow and adds no new progression system.

Use cases
Building with a wider palette
Builders can produce intermediate shades on demand instead of gathering each dye separately.
Efficient dye collection
Players who would otherwise search for rare flowers can craft the color they need from dyes they already have.
Who it’s for: Players who want a smaller set of dye sources and build with many shades, and server owners who want an optional mixing feature that works without client installs.
