'''Dyes''' are a set of sixteen items used to change the color of [[wool]], [[carpet]]s, [[terracotta]], [[concrete powder]], [[glass]], [[shulker box]]es, [[bed]]s, [[candle]]s, the patterns on [[banner]]s, [[firework star]]s, certain mobs, and text on [[sign]]s and [[hanging sign]]s. {{IN|bedrock}} they can also be used to dye water in a [[cauldron]] (which is thereafter used to dye leather [[armor]]); {{in|java}} leather armor can be dyed directly. {{IN|education}} dyes can also be used to dye [[balloon]]s and [[glow stick]]s.

{{IN|bedrock|education}}, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[white dye]], [[black dye]], [[blue dye]], and [[brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that aren't related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only in regard to their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.

[[File:Dye Recipes.png|400px|thumb|A guide for creating all the dyes]]

== Obtaining ==
<!--[[File:Dye Chart.png|350px|thumb|A guide to crafting all the dyes.{{until|java 1.14}}]]-->

Dyes can be produced by crafting them from plants (mainly flowers), by crafting dyes of different colors together, by smelting plants, or by trading with a [[wandering trader]].

=== Smelting ===
{{smelting|head=1|Sea Pickle|Lime Dye|0,2}}
{{smelting|foot=1|Cactus|Green Dye|1||b=Lapis Lazuli|c=Any fuel|d=1}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s can sell 3 dyes for an [[emerald]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can also sell 3 lapis lazuli, bone meal, cocoa beans, or ink sacs for one emerald.

Apprentice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one lapis lazuli per emerald.

=== Chest loot ===

{{#invoke:LootChest|base3|blue-dye,green-dye,orange-dye,light-blue-dye,yellow-dye,white-dye}}

=== Other ===

Ink sacs can also be created using 1 iron, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygen in the [[compound creator]]. {{only|bedrock|education}}

== Usage ==

Similar to their use in crafting, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa beans]] can be substituted for the corresponding dye in any of the following usages unless otherwise specified.{{only|bedrock}} <!--- sections are ordered by craftable dyeable blocks, dyeable items, version exclusive sections, and non-crafting miscellaneous uses--->

=== Dyeing wool and mobs ===

Players can dye wool by placing [[wool]] and any dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|nocat=1
|Any Wool
|Matching Dye
|Output=Any Wool
}}

Dyes can be {{control|use|text=used}} on sheep to change the color of the wool. Shearing a colored sheep drops the corresponding color of the wool, and the sheep retains the color when the wool regenerates. [[Breeding]] colored sheep produces a lamb colored as one of the parent sheep, or a color resulting from the combination of both parents' color. The color combining follows the same rules that dyes use – red and yellow sheep produce an orange lamb, but a blue and yellow sheep cannot create a green lamb. The unlimited reproduction of colored sheep makes dyeing and shearing sheep infinitely more efficient than just dyeing wool directly.
 
Dye can also be used on a tamed [[wolf]] or [[cat]] to change the color of its collar from the default red to the color of the dye.

=== Dyeing carpets ===

Carpets can be dyed.

{{Crafting

=== Creating concrete powder ===

Dyes can also be used to craft [[concrete powder]], which can then be set into their respective [[concrete]] blocks (they cannot be dyed directly).

=== Staining glass ===

[[Stained glass]] can be stained by placing 8 blocks of glass around a dye on a [[crafting table]]. Just like regular glass, stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes. The recipe for this is the same as with regular glass.

=== Dyeing shulker boxes ===

[[Shulker box]]es are generated in a light shade of purple (like the [[purpur block]]), but can be dyed any color. They can also be re-dyed as often as desired.

=== Dyeing beds ===

Players can dye beds by placing a [[bed]] and any color dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting

=== Dyeing candles ===

Players can dye [[candles]] by placing an undyed candle and any color dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|ignoreusage=1

}}

=== Banner patterns ===
{{main|Banner#Patterns}}

Dyes are used in most banner patterns to determine the pattern and color displayed.

=== Dyeing armor ===

[[File:DyeGraph2.png|200px|thumb|A graph showing all combinations of two dyes on a [[tunic]].]]

Leather [[armor]] can be dyed by:
* Crafting dyes with a piece of leather armor or leather [[horse armor]].{{Only|java}}
* Dousing the leather armor or leather [[horse armor]] in a [[cauldron]] to which dyes have been added.{{Only|bedrock}}

There are 5,713,438<ref>https://anrar4.github.io/DyeLeatherArmor/</ref> (34.1% of sRGB) colors leather armor can be, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a [[cauldron]] with undyed water.

The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
 for each color (all "total" variables start at 0 before counting):
  totalRed = totalRed + redValue
  totalGreen = totalGreen + greenValue
  totalBlue = totalBlue + blueValue
  totalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)
  numberOfColors = numberOfColors + 1
 
 averageRed = totalRed / numberOfColors
 averageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColors
 averageBlue = totalBlue / numberOfColors
 averageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors
 
 maximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue)
 gainFactor = averageMaximum / maximumOfAverage
 
 resultRed = averageRed * gainFactor
 resultGreen = averageGreen * gainFactor
 resultBlue = averageBlue * gainFactor

Due to the way this formula works, the resulting color can never be darker than the average of the input colors and is often lighter and more saturated. Of course, the resulting color can never be lighter or more saturated than the lightest or most saturated input color. In addition, this formula never creates an RGB value higher than 255 (which would be invalid in the 8-bit RGB color model).

If leather armor is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when dyed or undyed.

=== Dyeing firework stars ===

A [[firework star]] can have a single color or a combination of up to eight colors when crafted with dyes. Adding one or more dyes to a crafted firework star adds a "fade to color" effect to it, overwriting any existing fade colors.

=== Dyeing water inside cauldrons ===
Water can be dyed in a cauldron by holding any dye in the hand and pressing {{Ctrl|use}} on a cauldron filled with water.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Signs ===
Dye can be {{control|used}} on a [[sign]] or a [[hanging sign]] to change the text color. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[ink sac]]s cannot be used for this purpose; black dye must be used to change the text to black.

=== Trading ===
Apprentice, journeyman and expert-level shepherd [[villager]]s buy any of the 12 dyes for an [[emerald]].

== Color values ==
The "color codes" are used to determine the color imparted on sheep, wolf and cat collars, firework stars, [[beacon]] beams, and dyed leather armor. The hex value is shown in the extended tooltips of dyed leather armor; however, to set the color using an NBT data tag in a [[command]], the decimal value must be used instead. The color values for firework stars are slightly different from the ones listed below, and use [[Item colors#Firework stars|these values]] instead.

== Trivia ==
* Players can obtain each one of every color with 1 cocoa bean, 2 yellow dye, 2 ink sac, 3 green dye, 4 lapis lazuli, 4 red dye, and 6 bone meal (2 bones).
* The dyed sheep breeding behavior mirrors [[wikipedia:Lamarckism|Lamarck's theory]], in which the organisms evolve inheriting the external changes and adaptations of the previous generation, transmitting them to their offspring.
* In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. E.g.: Magenta can be crafted with one rose red and two bone meals.
* The colors of the dyes match the chat colors in [[color codes]] except for brown (dye only), light aqua, and gold (color codes only).
* The texture for light blue dye still uses the color from prior to the 1.12 World of Color update.<ref name="unchanged dyes"></ref>

'''Shovels''' are [[tool]]s used to hasten the process of breaking [[dirt]], [[sand]], [[gravel]] and other soil blocks, as well as to convert [[Dirt (disambiguation)|dirt]] blocks into [[Dirt Path|dirt paths]].

=== Upgrading ===
Like other diamond tools, a diamond shovel can be upgraded to a netherite shovel, although increased durability and resistance to fire/lava in item form are the only benefits. The shovel's performance as a digging tool or a weapon is unchanged by the upgrade.

==== [[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]] ====
{{/Repairing with Anvils}} 
A shovel can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. It also keeps the shovel's [[Enchanting|enchantments]].

=== Chest loot ===
On <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, they generate a furnace with a wooden shovel inside of it.
{{LootChestItem|iron-shovel,level-enchanted-iron-shovel,random-enchanted-golden-shovel,diamond-shovel,level-enchanted-diamond-shovel,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-shovel,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-shovel-2}}

=== Mob loot ===

==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

[[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s have a 0.67% (3.33% in Hard [[difficulty]]) chance of spawning with an iron shovel. They have an 8.5% (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping that shovel if they are killed by the player. The dropped shovel is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted: 0%–25% on Normal difficulty and 3.125%–25% on Hard difficulty, varying with [[regional difficulty]], and enchanted as if on an enchanting table at level 5–22.

==== Raids ====

Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance(5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron shovel that is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Trading ===

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron shovels for 2 emeralds, and expert-level toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond shovels for 5 emeralds as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level tool smiths have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron shovel for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level tool smiths have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an enchanted diamond shovel for 11-27 emeralds.{{only|java}}

The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchanting table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Villager gifts ===

{{in|java}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s occasionally throw stone shovels at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Digging ===

A shovel can be used to break some materials faster. When breaking a block, it uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

==== Durability ====

Each different tier of shovel has a different durability:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! [[Durability]]
|-
| {{itemLink|Wooden Shovel|Wood|link=Shovel}}
| 59
|-
| {{itemLink|Stone Shovel|Stone|link=Shovel}}
| 131
|-
| {{itemLink|Iron Shovel|Iron|link=Shovel}}

|-
| {{itemLink|Golden Shovel|Golden|link=Shovel}}
| 32
|-
| {{itemLink|Netherite Shovel|Netherite|link=Shovel}}
| 2031
|}

==== Speed ====

The following table summarizes the speed at which different quality shovels perform on different block types. Values with a red background indicate that no resource is dropped when the block is destroyed without a shovel. 
{{breaking row|Clay|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Coarse Dirt}}
{{Breaking row|Concrete Powder}}

{{breaking row|Suspicious Gravel}}
{{breaking row|Suspicious Sand|foot=1}}

=== Dirt paths ===

A shovel can be used to create a [[dirt path]] by {{control|using}} (not digging) the shovel on any one of the following blocks, losing one durability point:
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
* {{BlockLink|Mycelium}}

=== Campfire ===

A shovel can be used to extinguish a [[campfire]].

===Weapon===

Hitting a mob while holding a shovel is a stronger attack than barehanded. Shovels take 2 damage when used as a weapon.

====Java Edition====

[[Category:Java Edition specific information]]
Shovels have an attack speed modifier of -3, meaning they take 1 second to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. Shovels deal different damage based on the type:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
!Shovel type

|-
|{{ItemLink|Diamond Shovel}}||{{hp|5.5}}||5.5
|-
|{{ItemLink|Netherite Shovel}}||{{hp|6.5}}
|1.6||10.4
|}

====Bedrock Edition====

{{IN|bedrock}}, shovels always attack instantly and do the following damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
! colspan="5" |Attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Wooden Shovel}}{{ItemSprite|Golden Shovel}} {{hp|2}}

{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"
|+
!Name
