Green Dye
Green Dye turns one smelted cactus into color for blocks, equipment, animals, banners, and two additional dye families.
Description
Green Dye colors sheep, wool, beds, candles, banners, glass, terracotta, concrete powder, shulker boxes, leather armor, wolf collars, and cat collars where the relevant recipe or interaction allows dye. Green Dye also combines with Blue Dye to make Cyan Dye and with White Dye to make Lime Dye, turning one cactus harvest into three useful color families. For repeated builds, smelt cactus automatically with hoppers and store Green Dye beside the materials that will be recolored.
