But the sandbox wouldn't be what it is if freedom wasn't felt in every element. One such element is customization. The ability to dye armor, beds, glass, and other items. There are 16 palettes in the game, and each one must be obtained in a specific way. In this article, we'll explain how to do that.
White dye

White is easy to gather. It's also essential for making other pigments, so it's worth stocking up until your storage doors break from the quantity. There are two ways to obtain it:
- Find the Lily of the Valley flower and use it in the crafting table.
- Kill skeletons to get bones, then grind them into bone meal. There's another option. Players can collect bone meal by filling a composter with seeds, vegetables, fruits.
Black dye

To obtain black, players need to get ink sacs from squids. These passive mobs swim in bodies of water, and each squid can drop one to three ink sacs. Players should remember that glowing squids drop glowing ink sacs, which cannot be used to make black color.
Brown dye

Brown is made from cocoa beans, which grow only on trees in jungles. These biomes are rare but usually large, giving players a chance to collect many resources. The player has the opportunity to grow beans on tree trunks in the jungle.
Red dye

Red can be obtained from three items:
- poppy;
- rose;
- beetroot.
These plants are found in various biomes, especially in the Flower Forest. Bone meal can also be used on a grass block to grow different flowers. Players are able to pick these flowers in villages, find them in chests, or get them through farmer trades.
Green dye

First, prepare a furnace. This is one of the few colors that will require it. Otherwise, all the gamer needs to do is enjoy the world while heading to the desert to find a cactus. Then, put the prickly plant in the furnace.
Blue dye

Blue can be obtained in two ways. One is simple, and the other requires some muscle and a pickaxe in dark dungeons:
- Collect cornflowers in the Flower Forest biome.
- Mine lapis lazuli underground.
- The result is a very pleasant color.
Yellow dye

Prepare yourself for something beautiful. Turn on some Lofi music and relax. We're going flower picking! Yellow pigment can be obtained from sunflowers or dandelions, which can be found in various biomes. They are especially abundant in the Flower Forest location.
Gray dye

Recall where skeletons live and kill squids. Once you've collected the items, head to your crafting table to showcase your alchemical or artistic skills. Mix bone meal with an ink sac. We get 2 components of white and black colors and mix them.
Light gray dye

A fairly easy color to obtain. Light gray can be made using one of three flowers: azure bluet, white tulips, oxeye daisies. There is a second option: mixing gray + bone meal.
Cyan dye

Cyan is made by mixing blue + green pigments. You can also find lapis lazuli in caves. Players will have to work hard for this, as it's one of the few resources that is created from two others.
Light blue dye

Light blue can be obtained in two ways:
- Combining blue and white colors.
- Using a blue orchid on the crafting table.
Purple dye

Purple is made by mixing red + blue. First, collect flowers in the Flower Forest location, then head underground to mine resources.
Magenta dye

The most complex of all. There are many ways to obtain this coveted resource. For example, mix purple, pink pigments or put a lilac flower in the furnace. Alternatively, gather ingredients for red, white, blue dyes, create them, and then combine them.
Pink dye

To make pink, use the following materials:

- Red + white pigments.
Orange dye

Lime dye

There’s no need to collect anything here, but having other colors in your backpack won’t hurt. Lime is made by mixing green + white dyes. Head to the desert to gather cacti to make tequila. Oops! Then find skeletons for bone meal or fertilize your garden.
