With Unidye, players can craft custom dyes by mixing existing ones, and apply them to blocks, items and mobs.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20 – 1.21.1

What it does

Unidye adds custom dyes made by combining vanilla dyes or other custom dyes in a crafting recipe. Each custom dye shows a color that depends on how it is used, because vanilla dyes already give inconsistent results across blocks, wool and terracotta. Dyeing terracotta with a custom dye produces a custom terracotta with the matching color, and the same applies to concrete, concrete powder and glass. Already dyed custom blocks can be dyed again, and the resulting block color is a mix of the dyes applied. Dyed leather armor can also be redyed. The dye count is raised toward a very large number of possible combinations.

Custom dyes can color pet collars, sheep's wool, fireworks and beacon beams, and they support other dye-related uses. Right-clicking a water cauldron cleans custom or vanilla dyed items. A command lets a player give themselves a custom colored block by specifying the color. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 9 release versions, and it is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, and the required dependency Polymorph must be installed. A stick is still needed when crafting custom dyes, whether or not Polymorph is installed.

Key features

  1. Mixed custom dyes

    Custom dyes are crafted by combining existing vanilla and custom dyes, producing new colors.

  2. Dyed building blocks

    Terracotta, concrete, concrete powder and glass take the color of the custom dye applied to them.

  3. Redyeing

    Dyed custom blocks and dyed leather armor can be dyed again, with the result blending the applied colors.

  4. Dye cleaning and commands

    Right-clicking a water cauldron removes dye from custom and vanilla dyed items, and a command gives a custom colored block.

What the author says

Use with Sinytra Connector for Forge Compatibility! First of all, I heavily recommend using Polymorph to avoid vanilla dye recipe conflicts. If you do not use Polymorph, you will need to use a stick as an additional item when crafting custom dyes from vanilla dyes only.
