Damage Values Error
The numbers for the damage values are backwards for as far as i know. I changed them.

I believe you are mistake, now the colors are in the wrong order. Ink Sac is damage 1 Joshtronic 21:48, 27 February 2011 (UTC)!

The damage values are listed as bone meal being 0 while the trivia says bone meal is 15. Someone who knows for sure which one is right please change whichever is wrong. GooBootheWarrior 17:31, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Green
Green could be crafted with slime. Eventually. Just a tought. Or leaves. Or diamonds. LOL -- –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Freaktechnik (Talk 18:18, 13 January 2011. Please sign your posts with   !

It's crafted with Cacti. Ragepyro 18:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I would dare say it involves the blue ore. MFahouloir 18:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

There are 5 "primary colors", red, yellow, blue, black, white. And since red+yellow=orange, I'd dare to say that yellow+blue=green :P Saifon 18:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

green dye is made by burning cactus in furnace tomzorz

Someone should add pictures of the dyes! :D Master Sorez

Brown?
There are some images of a brown dye up on the forums - can it be confirmed, and if it can, can somebody find the recipe?

I have seen brown dye aswell, perhaps the 15 colors added did not include the original color white ;) --Mr FJ 22:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Brown dye exist, is coco beans, but there isn't any way to get them except hacking damage into the any dye and setting it to 3. --Tuqui 22:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

I believe that white makes up 15 dyes because bones make white.

Maybe it is a very secret dye? =D Cool12309 22:44, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Brown dye is cocoa beans. You can only get them from dungeons or through hacks.Ary31415 07:10, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Colour Dyes
I took what I think are the colour dyes and put them here. If someone could organise them into separate images for the articles that would be great.

Brown
Some evidence of the existance of brown would be nice since 15 dyes WERE ADDED.

1. Rose Red- Red 2. Dandelion Yellow- Yellow 3. Lapis Lazuli- Blue 4. Cactus Green- Green 5. Ink Sack- Black 6. Bone Meal- White 7. Orange 8. Light Grey 9. Light Blue 10. Grey 11. Pink 12. Purple 13. Cyan 14. Lime 15. Magenta 16. Cocoa Beans- Brown

A Giant picture of Dye
If anyone here would be willing, getting a large picture of one of the dyes to have as a title picture in the style of the other item pages would be appreciated. It only has to be one, fairly large, and a sample. I.E. clay-St. Fenix (User•Talk) 16:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I have added a giant picture and posted it on the Wool Dyes page. I hope the guide has all the information you need. If anyone needs to edit this image in the future (in case of changes or additions to the dye system), an editable file can be found here: --RedPoptarts 03:47, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Added one, It's even animated. --Heldplayer 17:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

In game pictures
I have some in game pictures of the wools in a row.

Should I add it? --Tials 16:59, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Nae, pretty redundant as we already have File:2011-01-13_19.26.58.png which is already in Wool (but could do with getting put in Wool Dyes too..) --Gnu32 17:03, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Quick problem with the Dye Crafting guide
It says Lapis yields only 1 blue dye, when it (in SSP) really gives 4-8. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by The.dibster (Talk 02:02, 27 January 2011. Please sign your posts with !
 * This appears to have been fixed, unless I'm missing something :s --Gnu32 06:51, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Palette file
I grabbed the 16 wool textures from terrain.png, averaged the colour of each 16x16 square, and exported it as a GIMP palette file. This could be useful for people wishing to do pixel art, but I don't know where to put it. (for the GIMP, save the following text as 'Minecraft_Wools.gpl' in your ~/.gimp/palettes/ directory, or ~/.gimp-2.6/palettes/, or I have no idea where this would go in a windows machine. Still, the RGB values are there.  Should probably rearrange the order to match the damage-values for the dyed wool. GIMP Palette Name: Minecraft_Wools Columns: 8  0   0   0     Index 0      Ink Sac 39  51 154     Index 1      Lapiz Lazuli 86  51  28     Index 2      Brown Dye 67  67  67     Index 3      Gray Dye 56  77  24     Index 4      Cactus Green 164  45  41     Index 5      Rose Red 129  54 196     Index 6      Purple Dye 39 117 149     Index 7      Cyan Dye 191  76 201     Index 8      Magenta Dye 104 139 212     Index 9      Light Blue Dye 234 128  55     Index 10     Orange Dye 217 131 155     Index 11     Pink Dye 59 189  48     Index 12     Lime Dye 158 166 166     Index 13     Light Gray Dye 194 181 28     Index 14     Dandelion Yellow 222 222 222    Index 15     Bone Meal

Damage Values
The damage values for the dyes start at 0 and go to 15 in this order:

"black", "red", "green", "brown", "blue", "purple", "cyan", "silver", "gray", "pink", "lime", "yellow", "lightBlue", "magenta", "orange", "white"

1.0 Dyed Sheep Breeding
Confirmed that dyed sheep when bred will produce dyed offspring. This means that you can get theoretically unlimited coloured wool from 2 units of dye. 109.144.195.181 16:34, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

I have experienced this is ~usually~ the case, but sometimes I get a child sheep of a different color, not always a naturally occurring one. I think that after sheep are dyed they still have a chance to produce a child of their original color. Of course I may be crazy.98.247.62.36 09:55, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I've produced 1000+ units of wool, changing colors of my flock several times, and never got a child with a different color than parents. Maybe you could recheck that? --mgr 10:43, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The previous statement above doesn't make much sense. If one parent is a Yellow sheep and the other is Red, how can the color of the offspring be the same as both parents. Gorilla 12:05, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Other uses for dyes
What if we could dye glass and wood planks? It would vastly increase the uses for dyes and open up a whole new world of creativity in building design. Harticus78

Name
Now that you can dye leather armor, should the name remain "wool dyes?" In the game, it is simply referred to as "dye." Sedrick Stevenson 04:24, 24 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, now you can use these for dye armor and wolves' collars, so i think that this page should be renamed as "Dyes"--89.21.193.126 07:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
