It's Dyeing Time!
by Blyrium
It's Dyeing Time! adds more dye mixing recipes and dye sources, letting players get dyes from items they could not use before for the same purpose.
What it does
Dyes can be made from a wider set of items in this mod. Glowstone Dust, Glow Berries, Carrots, Redstone Dust, Nether Wart, Fire Coral and Red Mushrooms are among the ingredients that now produce dyes or mixes. Bone Meal is also used on ocean floors to produce a dye, so players gathering in water have another route.
The mod is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required. Files target 1.20 and 1.20.1, with the 1.1.0+1.20.1 build for 1.20.1 as the latest release, published on 2024-03-20. The author notes that one recipe overlaps with another and that the result is the same in both cases.
The code is available as a public source repository, but the mod is not open source: it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which limits commercial use. The author says it should work on other 1.20.x versions and plans a backport to other Minecraft versions.
Key features
Additional dye recipes
New crafting recipes turn several common items into dyes, widening the options for coloring blocks and wool.
Dye mixing
Extra mixing recipes combine dyes into new colors, so players can reach more shades with fewer trips.
Ocean floor dyes
Bone Meal used on ocean floors yields a dye, a source tied to the underwater biome.
Harvestable flower dyes
Pandarix Bushier Flowers is suggested as a companion, since it makes harvesting flower dyes faster.

How it compares
Logical Dye Mixing is a Fabric, Forge and Quilt mod for 1.16 – 1.20.1, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is server required with an optional client. Dyes is also server required with an optional client, under the MIT License, for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4. Unidye targets Fabric alone for 1.20 – 1.21.1 and needs both the server and clients, under All rights reserved. This mod differs by covering only 1.20 and 1.20.1 and by being client and server, under a non-commercial Creative Commons license.

What the author says
Two mushrooms because the stem isn't really brown now, is it? One Glowstone Dust, Glow Berries, or two Carrots, because carrots aren't known for bleeding colour.
