by Restonian

Dyed Books lets players dye written books and books with dyes, removing or adding enchantment glint with ink sacs.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21.5 – 26.3

What it does

Books can be recolored with dyes through crafting recipes and a datapack, the same way leather armor takes colour. Several dyes combined in one sequence produce a very large range of colour options. Colour is removed with water, either in a cauldron on 26.1 and later or by crafting with a water bucket.

Key features

  1. Dyed books

    Books and written books take any dye colour, and the datapack covers the same recipes.

  2. Multi-dye colours

    Combining several dyes in one sequence yields a very large range of distinct colours.

  3. Enchantment glint control

    Crafting recipes with standard and glowing ink sacs add or strip the enchantment glint on books.
