Wash Dyed Items

by Abyssal Vanguard

Wash Dyed Items lets a dyed item be returned to its undyed form through a crafting recipe, so a dye mistake does not have to be kept.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 26.2

What it does

A dyed item can be cleaned with a crafting recipe that removes its dye color and restores the original base item. The dye is spent in the process, so the item comes back white, but the base item and any other properties are kept. Server staff can run commands that strip the dye from an item and bring it back to its base form.

The mod fits builders who change palettes often and survival players who prefer not to waste dyes. It is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may add it to join with the same behavior. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack for servers that prefer not to install a loader mod, with files for 1.21 – 26.2. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Crafting recipe to wash

    A recipe strips the dye from an item and returns it to its undyed state, so the color can be changed again.

  2. Base item restored

    Dyed armor and other items come back as their original base item after the dye is removed.

  3. Dye reuse

    Dyes that were spent on a mistake can be reused on other items, which suits survival play.

  4. Server commands

    Operators on a server can use commands to take dye off items and return them to the unpainted version.

Use cases

Correcting a wrong color

A player who dyed armor the wrong shade can wash it and dye it again without losing the piece.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want small quality-of-life features, and players who build with many color changes. The data pack option covers servers that do not run a loader mod.
