Description

Pink Dye is a pastel pink colorant in Minecraft, crafted on the 2x2 grid from one peony (yielding two Pink Dye), one pink tulip (one dye), one pink petals (one dye), or by combining one Red Dye with one White Dye for two Pink Dye. Pink Dye never appears in chest loot and is fully renewable, because peonies and pink tulips regrow with bone meal in flower forests and meadows. Before the Java 1.14 update, Pink Dye was crafted from bone meal plus red dye, but The Flattening replaced that recipe with the current flower-based crafting.

Pink Dye colors a wide range of blocks and items: wool, terracotta, stained glass, concrete powder, beds, candles, banners, shulker boxes, and leather armor all accept Pink Dye. Players also apply Pink Dye directly to a sheep to grow renewable pink wool, and to the collars of tamed wolves and cats. Pink Dye is a favorite for cherry-blossom builds, cozy bedrooms, and pastel interiors that need a gentle, warm accent without the heavy saturation of Magenta Dye or Red Dye.
