Wool dyes are items used to change the color of wool. There are six "primary" dyes (red, yellow, blue, green, white and black) and eleven "secondary" dyes.
Dyes can be used on sheep to paint them. After shearing, the wool dropped will be of the same colour as well, yielding more coloured wool in comparison to crafting. Dyes may also be placed with wool on a crafting table (in any position) to dye a single cube.
