Seas of Color was my attempt (probably one of my many attempts) to remedy the lack of accessibility of basic dyes. Humor me for a moment, because I have a tendency to ramble and this mod adds a lot of elements.
- Craft Coral Blocks Into Dyes
Each coral block can craft into two dyes: Fire into red, horn into yellow, tube into blue, brain into pink, and bubble into magenta. I figured the easiest (and least cruel) method would be to let it be done with coral, since fish aren't exactly renewable and the whole thing is very RNG heavy.
- Coral Fans into Corals, Corals to Blocks
I noticed as I was trying to gather materials to do a showcase that it's very difficult to consistently get one kind of coral, so I added recipes to convert coral fans into corals, and vice versa. Corals are the items used to make Coral Blocks -- which is how I tackle the renewability issue.
- Unwhitening
Black dye can now be used to convert lime, pink, and light blue dyes back into their green, red, and blue counterparts. Shapeless recipe exists for 2 colored dyes and one black dye, in an attempt to minimize the use of this recipe to dupe items.
- Okay, now we're just getting silly
A recipe was added to campfires to cook sea pickles into lime dye.
I think that's everything? Hope you enjoy :)
