Dye Depot
by Ninni
Dye Depot is a Storage mod that adds 16 extra dyes, a crafting guide for converting between them, and a built-in optional resource pack for vanilla dye textures.
What it does
The mod adds sixteen new dyes that players craft from the vanilla dye system. Each color set has four variants: a base, a light, a dark and a tinted form. The grayscale set has no tinted variant, so Ash and Light Gray are treated as lighter and darker shades of the same family, not as equivalents. A chart in the documentation shows which dye can be turned into which other one.
The crafting system has been adjusted to be easier to follow. Basic conversions apply to all hues, such as turning a light color into a dark one or a tinted dye into a base one. Tinted variants use separate recipes, so a separate section explains how to obtain each of them. An optional built-in resource pack renames a few colors and replaces the vanilla dye item textures.
Installation works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the latest Fabric file for 1.21.1 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1. Dye Depot requires the server and every player to run it. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source. It is required by eight other mods, including Dye The World! and Colorful Depot, so those need it installed too.

How it compares
Tinted Dyes is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 that runs on client and server and is licensed under All rights reserved, so it does not load on Fabric. Supplementaries Squared covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 with the same environment and license, but it is a broader decoration mod rather than a dye mod. Dyes Reimagined is needed on the server, with the client optional; it is available on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3 under a custom license.
