Players looking to dye some of their leather armor in Minecraft will need several things to do so, including dyes, cauldrons, and a bucket.

In Minecraft, players can alter the world around them in any way they wish. This now includes building a peaceful garden in Minecraft Bloom and using flowers and other ingredients to make dyes and change the color of the materials in the world.

There are sixteen different colors of dyes in Minecraft that players can use to change the color of their armor. These colors can be created with a Crafting Table by using rocks, vegetables, flowers, and other flora. These colors are:

  • Red - beetroot, roses, poppies, red tulips
  • Green - cactus
  • Light grey - azure bluet, white tulips, oxeye daisies
  • Pink - pink tulips, peonies
  • Lime green - sea pickles, which can be farmed with a Minecraft Potion of Water Breathing
  • Yellow - dandelions, sunflowers
  • Light blue - blue orchids
  • Magenta - alliums, lilacs
  • Orange - orange tulips
  • Blue - lapis lazuli, cornflowers
  • Brown - cocoa beans
  • Black - ink sacs, wither roses
  • White - bone meal, lily of the valley

Dyes can also be made by combining other colors of dyes to create a new color. This can be done also at one of Minecraft's crafting tables.

  • Purple - combining one red dye and one blue dye
  • Cyan - combining one green dye and one blue dye
  • Light grey - combining one black dye and two white dyes, or combining one grey dye with one white dye
  • Grey - combining one white dye and one black dye
  • Pink - combining one red dye and one white dye
  • Lime green - combining one green dye and one white dye
  • Light blue - combining one blue dye and one white dye
  • Magenta - combining one pink dye and one purple dye, combining one blue dye and one white dye and one red dye, combining one blue dye and two red dye and one white dye
  • Orange - combining one red dye and one yellow dye

To dye armor, players will need the armor they wish to dye as well as the dye color of their choice. But they will also need an iron bucket full of water and a cauldron. In order to make these two things, players will need a lot of iron ingots. Raw iron can be found underground and in caves, and then smelted into ingots with a furnace. Here are the diagrams for making the two iron tools that players will need to dye their armor.

Since leather armor is the only armor that can be dyed, players will first have to get some leather. Leather can be made from some of the animals that players can tame in Minecraft. After that, they can make the leather armor at a crafting table.

Leather armor can also be retrieved off of from some of Minecraft's zombie villagers. Once players have some items to dye, they can use these steps to change their colors.

  • Place the Cauldron
  • Using the bucket, grab some water and fill the cauldron
  • Add the selected color of dye to the cauldron
  • Select the item that is to be dyed and add it to the cauldron

After that, the player's leather armor should be a different color, giving them a fashionable new look.

Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
