More Dyes
by ceptechart
More Dyes lets players mix and extract dyes, color blocks with a basin, and inspect color codes, with 16777216 color options in total.
What it does
Players right-click a dye basin with an empty dye vial to extract a dye, and newly mixed dyes can be combined with other dyes or dyed objects in a crafting grid. Dyed blocks can be rinsed by right-clicking the basin while holding water, so colors are not permanent. Pressing F3 and H shows the color code of a dye vial or a dyed item.
The mod's stated aim is to extend the range of colored blocks available in the game. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest build is b1.1.0 for 1.21.5. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so the project is open source, with public links to the source code and issue tracker.

Use cases
Building with custom colors

Who it’s for: Players who build with colored blocks and want more shades than vanilla dyes offer, and server owners who want the extra colors available to every player on their server.
How it compares
Dip Dye is open source under the MIT License, is client and server, and targets 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. HyDye is client-side only, not open source and covers 1.21 – 26.3, so only the client needs it. Rainbow Wood is also open source under the MIT License and is client and server, but it targets 1.21.1 only.
