Dyed Eggs
by dqwertyc.dev
Dyed Eggs lets a thrown egg recolor the blocks and entities it strikes, using dyes crafted into the egg.
What it does
Dyed eggs are made by crafting four chicken eggs with a single dye color, and each one carries that color. When a thrown dyed egg hits a block or entity, the target takes on the egg's color. Dyeable blocks include candles, carpets, wool, concrete, concrete powder, terracotta, glazed terracotta, stained glass and stained glass panes. Dyeable entities include sheep, shulkers, cats and dogs, whose collars change color to match.
Installation covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The mod runs on the server, and clients may add it too. Files exist for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 under the MIT License, which is not open source. The latest file, 26.3.0+mod, was published on 2026-09-15.
