Rgb Dye System
by Ghost
Rgb Dye System adds RGB dyes, a Dyeing Station for mixing them, and dyeable block variants for Fabric players on 1.21.1.
What it does
Players mix custom colors in the Dyeing Station, a functional block with its own screen. The station accepts colors entered as HEX, RGB or HSB values, and the resulting dyes can be used to color block variants. Recipes also convert the custom RGB dye items back into their vanilla dye counterparts, so they work with the existing dye-based crafting.
Three crops, blue, green and red, grow in eight stages from 0 to 7 and provide the raw material for the dyes. Each crop is a new block with its own item, models, textures and loot table configuration. The dyeable blocks include bricks, concrete, glass, lamps and planks, so a build can mix colored variants of several materials.
The mod runs only on the client, so servers and other players do not need it. It is built for Fabric and published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.0 dated 2026-07-02. The code is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Dyeing Station
A functional block with a custom screen that processes dyes and accepts HEX, RGB and HSB color inputs.
Custom crops
Blue, green and red crops each grow through eight stages and supply the dye materials.
Dyeable blocks
Five block types, including bricks, concrete, glass, lamps and planks, can be made in player-chosen colors.
Vanilla dye conversion
Crafting recipes let players convert the RGB dye items they make into the matching vanilla dyes, so those dyes can be used in existing recipes.

Use cases
Colored building
Builders who want exact shades of concrete, glass or planks can mix them in the station instead of choosing from the sixteen vanilla dyes.
Farming for dyes
Players grow the three crops over the growth stages to gather the materials the station needs.
Who it’s for: Fabric players on 1.21.1 who build with colored blocks and want to mix dye colors themselves. Because the mod is client-side only, it can be installed in single-player or on a server without the server running it.
How it compares
Dip Dye is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and is published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. RGB Hitboxes is client-side only, not open source, and published for 1.21.11 alone. Dyeable Shulkers is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.20 – 1.21.5, so it is aimed at a different part of the game.
