DYLA (Dyeing Your Life Away)
by AJBruner77
DYLA gives players tie-dye styled decoration blocks, with slabs, doors, stairs and panes for each of its 41 styles, and five Dyeing Stations to craft them.
What it does
Players make tie-dyed blocks by wrapping a Wool or Terracotta block with Rubber Bands and then dyeing it at a Dyeing Station, which is a new profession table. The Rubber Bands are crafted from Logs, Tree Sap and Blue or Red dye, and come in small and medium sizes that set the pattern. Each style has its own recipe, and the mod adds over 300 decorative blocks in total, eight per style plus the extra variants.
The mod is a decoration and building addition for NeoForge. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and the source code is public. Files exist for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest NeoForge file, published on 2026-09-04.
Key features
41 tie-dye styles
Each style produces its own tie-dyed block, with variants for slabs, doors, stairs, panes, trapdoors, buttons, fences and fence gates.
Rubber Band crafting
Rubber Bands are made by smelting logs for tree sap and mixing it with blue or red dye, then sized as small or medium.
Dyeing Stations
Five Dyeing Stations act as the profession table where tied blocks are dyed into finished tie-dye blocks.
Glass panes and doors
A second set of doors and panes in colored and clear glass is included, with transparent options alongside the colored ones.

Use cases
Building with colored blocks
Builders can combine the tie-dye styles in walls, floors and facades, using slabs and stairs to shape the surfaces.
Who it’s for: The mod suits builders and decorators on NeoForge who want a large set of colored blocks for survival or creative worlds. Server owners adding it need it on both sides.
How it compares
Applicable Dyes is server-side only and published for NeoForge 1.21.8, under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Wool to Dye For also targets NeoForge, for 1.21.1 only, and runs on client and server under All rights reserved, so it is not open source either. DYLA covers 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 with a source-public CC0 license.
