Dye All The Things

by Fourmisain

Dye All The Things lets players dye armor, tools, weapons and many blocks the way leather armor takes dye, on Fabric.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16 – 26.3

What it does

Dye items can be applied to armor, including Elytra, horse armor and Nautilus armor, along with llama carpets. Tools and weapons such as tridents and shields accept dye too, and most 3D-looking blocks can be colored as well. Items added by other mods generally use special rendering, so they only take dye when their authors explicitly support it.

Dye All The Things runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, on game versions 1.16 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and the latest Fabric file, 1.11.0, is for 26.3 and dates from 2026-09-16.

Key features

  1. Dyeable armor

    Armor pieces, including Elytra and horse armor, can be dyed in the same way as leather armor.

  2. Dyeable tools and weapons

    Tridents and shields can take dye, extending coloring beyond clothing to held items.

  3. Dyeable blocks

    Most 3D-looking blocks accept dye, so builds can be colored without a separate block set.

  4. Llama carpets

    Llama carpets can be dyed too, so decorative horse and llama gear matches the rest of a build.

Questions

Does Dye All The Things need Fabric API?

No required dependency is listed for Fabric.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Will dye work on modded items from other mods?

Only when the item's author explicitly supports dye. Items that use special rendering may not take dye without that support.
