Which items can be dyed in Minecraft?

Only 5 leather items can be dyed in Minecraft: helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, and leather horse armor (leather_horse_armor). Metal, diamond, and netherite armor cannot be dyed. AlaCraft Armor Dye generates the /give command for all five items simultaneously.

Can you remove dye from armor?

Dyed leather armor in Minecraft can be washed in a cauldron with water. Place the leather item in the cauldron — it returns to the default leather color (brown, #A0620E = 10511886). The cauldron uses one water level per wash.

Why does the DEC code differ from HEX?

HEX and DEC are the same number in different numeral systems. Minecraft stores the leather armor color as an integer in the dyed_color field. Example: white #FFFFFF = 16777215, red #FF0000 = 16711680. AlaCraft displays both values simultaneously.

Does dyeing work in multiplayer?

Colored leather armor in Minecraft is visible to all players on the server. The /give command requires operator (OP) rights or cheats enabled. On servers without OP, use the crafting recipe: place armor and dyes in a crafting table.

Why doesn't the /give command work?

The /give command for dyeing armor fails if the wrong syntax is selected. AlaCraft provides 4 variants: NBT with damage value (1.8–1.12), curly braces (1.13–1.20.4), square brackets (1.20.5–1.21.4), and dyed_color= (1.21.5+). Select the section matching your server version.

Can you dye horse armor?

Leather horse armor (leather_horse_armor) in Minecraft is dyed using the same /give syntax as regular armor. AlaCraft Armor Dye generates commands for all five leather items including horse armor.
