Dye Tweaks
by aurum
Dye Tweaks is a data pack that changes how dyes are crafted, letting players combine colors and convert dyes with simpler recipes.
What it does
The pack adds recipes that duplicate dyes efficiently, so one dye can be stretched into more dye without the usual cost. Converting white dye and other dyes into different colors takes fewer steps, and the recipes are written to work across the dye colors in the game. Players drop the pack's folder into the datapacks folder of a world save, open the world and run the reload command to activate it. Crafting becomes less tedious for building projects that need large amounts of one color.
Dye Tweaks is a data pack and needs no mod loader, so it can be placed in a world on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt, or in a server's world folder. The author lists no additional dependencies. The pack is published for 1.13 – 26.3 across 51 release versions, with the latest file for 1.21.2 dated 2025-10-04. Environment: the server requires it, and clients may leave it out. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
