Replaces dyes with whimsical pixelated bugs! Each bug is lovingly inspired by its real-world counterpart.
I was inspired to create this resource pack after learning about cochineal dye, a real-life dye made from dried insects. Though the bugs featured here aren't actually used for dyes, I thought the concept would be cute, especially because I love bugs.
Version 1 includes 9 bug dyes, with more planned for future updates! Feel free to share your thoughts, report issues, suggest new bugs, or recommend minecraft version ports in the comments.
