Usage

Crafting Dyes

If you're not using some sort of recipe mod, you start off by crafting some dye bottles.

Dye bottle crafting recipe

When you craft some, you should get all the dye recipes in your recipe book.

Adding Dyes

Dyes are added to armor using a smithing table.

Adding dye in a smithing table

Adding Dyes to Armor Trims

To dye the trim, you'll need to put your dye into a Crafting Table to turn it into a small dye.

Small dye crafting recipe

Then you can apply the dye in the same way you would apply a normal one!

Removing Dyes

To remove a dye, simply put an empty bottle into a Smithing Table with the armor to reclaim your dye!

Removing dye from armor

Small dye bottles can used to reclaim dyed armor trims. Small dye bottles are crafted in the same way you craft small dyes.

Compatibility

Shaders

As of 2.1.0, dyes work with shaders other than when you're holding the item in your hand!

Modded Armor

It should be compatible with most modded armor that doesn't do anything too crazy. If you find a mod that doesn't work, please let me know!
