Dye Tricks

📖 Full recipe list: recipes.md

A behavior pack for Minecraft Bedrock Edition that allows players to convert raw materials using dyes.

When building redstone machines in Minecraft, I realized that while honey blocks can replace slime blocks, sticky pistons still require slimeballs — which can be a real hassle.

So I thought: what if honey could be dyed to match slimeballs? Dye Tricks is an add-on built on ideas like this, featuring dozens of clever crafting recipes.

With this mod, you no longer need to fight mobs. Simply grow plants, mine, and farm to obtain most mob-drop materials — and every recipe is fully renewable.
