About this project

What does Linen to Dye for add?

Linen Blocks that can be dyed to your heart's delight! An update of my older Dyed Cloth Blocks mod (old description in the spoiler), reworked to work better, with cleaner code and new colour options.

Linen blocks can be made with a 2x2 of any type of Linen, which can then be dyed into different colours by putting them in a barrel for 8 hours with dye at a ratio of of 1 Litre per block.
Each of the dyes in turn has 5 'shades'; there's the base shade you get by combining any linen block (coloured or uncoloured) with that dye, and then by adding White or Black dye you can move 'up' or 'down' a brightness level, with each colour having two 'steps' of darker shades and two 'steps' of lighter shades.

Meant for decorative and chiselling purposes.

Strong Tannin is used as a substitute for Brown Dye.

The colours are partially based on some of the fired clay colours from the clayworks mod.

Old Description
Dyed Cloth Blocks!

A pretty simple mod that kind of grew a bit as I worked on it. Adds simple coloured cloth blocks, as well as cheaper recipes for Red, Blue, White and Black dye.

This mod started because I wanted to chisel a custom bed for Chiseltools, and found myself lacking survival-friendly cloth/wool blocks to make them out of. A quick search of the ModDB brought me to Yerik's Cloth Blocks mod, which I used for a bit, until I tried making some designs and realized I didn't really have enough choice in colours, so I started looking around again and found Viceroy's Dyed Hardend Clay mod. This had far more colours, but... well, I don't want to sleep on a bed made of hardened clay.

So, I took these mods as a basis, and worked on my own mod. Initially it was just Yerik's mod but with a few more colours and using Viceroy's recipes, but then I started adding some more colours. And some more colours.

And now I've got 48 different cloth blocks, if you count the base linen block. Should give plenty of options.

It's important to note that this mod is not meant to be accurate with it's colours either. I've taken liberties both with the names of colours as well as how to get them, my main goal is and was "get pretty cloth blocks to make pretty things with", not "accurately represent the process behind making colours and dyeing cloth".

Feedback is appreciated, as are additional colour ideas. For the time being, I'd like to not add new liquid dyes and stick to the [Cloth + Bucket of Dye] Recipe formula, so any colour would need to be made with one of a type of cloth plus some dye (Red, Green, Blue, Black, White, Pink, Purple, Yellow or Orange).
