Dip Dye
by nexusrealms
Dip Dye lets players color water cauldrons and dyeable items by right-clicking them with dyes, dye bottles or vials.
What it does
Right-clicking a water cauldron with dye adds color to the water, and right-clicking a dyeable item over a cauldron colors that item. Two dyeing methods are included: the vanilla method using dyes, and an additive method using dye bottles or vials that layers color onto what is already there. Adding water bottles raises the water level without changing its color. Dip Dye requires Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. It is open source under the MIT License and has Fabric files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11.
