Purple Dye is a secondary dye color created by combining one Red Dye and one Blue Dye in the crafting interface. Wandering Traders will sell purple dye in exchange for Emeralds.
Uses
Purple dye can be used to dye both sheep and wool. Dying sheep will often produce more colored wool when the sheep is sheared. Dying wool makes one block of colored wool whereas dying sheep can produce one to three blocks of colored wool. Once a sheep is dyed, it retains that color until death or until another coat of dye is added.
Purple dye can also be used to craft purple stained glass, purple concrete powder, purple terracotta, purple beds, and purple wool with the respective crafting recipes.
Tamed wolf collars can also be dyed purple if the player right clicks on a tamed wolf with purple dye in hand.
Shepherd Villagers have a chance to buy purple dye in exchange for an emerald.
Trivia
