Charcoal to Dye
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
This mod does one thing only: Allows you to craft black dye from charcoal.
Charcoal was the main method of dying cloth black for the majority of human history, it makes sense that you would have this option in MInecraft too.
This was created for one of my personal modpacks. I dislike the spawning parameters for squid and have them disabled, and didn't want to rely on wither rose as my only source of black dye.
