Universal Dyeing
Easily re-dye beds, glass, shulker boxes, and more in the crafting grid—no more wasting resources on the wrong color!
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
🎨 Universal Dyeing (Vanilla+)
- Have you ever crafted a stack of Red Glass only to realize Blue would look better? Or found a Pink Bed in a village when your base is themed Green? Universal Dyeing fixes one of Minecraft’s most frustrating limitations by allowing you to re-color almost any dyed block or item directly in your crafting grid.
- This datapack is designed to feel like a feature Mojang forgot to add. It’s lightweight, survival-friendly, and perfect for builders who change their minds!
