Gray Dye is a secondary color that can be used to re-color a number of items in Minecraft.
Mechanics[]
Gray dye is made by combining one Bone Meal and an Ink Sac in a crafting table. As with all other dyes, this dye can be used to re-color Sheep. This is useful if one wants a steady supply of a specific color of wool because sheep will regrow their wool after being sheared. To dye sheep with gray dye, a player must first equip a piece of gray dye in their hand, and then right-click the sheep. The sheep's wool will immediately turn gray.
Gray dye can also be used to re-color tamed wolf collars by right-clicking a tamed wolf while holding gray dye.
Wandering Traders will sell gray dye for an Emerald.
Uses[]
- Crafting gray Terracotta.
- Dyeing leather Armor.
- Crafting gray Stained Glass.
- Dyeing sheep.
- Dyeing Wool.
- Dyeing tamed wolf collars.
- Dyeing beds.
- Dyeing shulker boxes.
- Crafting light gray dye.
- Dyeing leather horse armor
Crafting[]
Gray dye can be used to re-color some types of blocks. However, this is not done while holding the dye in hand, but instead by placing the necessary items in a Crafting Table interface. It can also dye leather armor and leather horse armor by using gray dye on a filled cauldron, then using the armor/horse armor on the cauldron.
