Craftable Dyes

Adds craftable dye recipes and a few supporting recipe tweaks for a more complete and progression-friendly dye system.

🎨 Craftable Dyes

Craftable Dyes adds crafting recipes for dye colors that are not craftable in vanilla 7 Days to Die.

In the base game, dyes are often limited by loot RNG and trader availability.
This mod provides a clean and progression-friendly way to craft dyes yourself, while keeping the costs balanced and consistent with the vanilla survival loop.

To make the system feel complete and not “tacked on”, a few additional recipes were adjusted so the dye progression is more rounded and integrates better into crafting.


đź”§ Features

      â€˘ Adds crafting recipes for dye colors (vanilla-friendly)
      â€˘ Balanced crafting costs (no free dyes, no trader dependency)
      â€˘ Small supporting recipe adjustments for a more complete dye system
      â€˘ No changes to vanilla item stats or gameplay mechanics

âś… Advantages

  • Removes the “loot-only” limitation for dyes
  • More consistent customization for bases, storage, and player gear
  • Great for builders and players who like clean visual organization
  • Fits naturally into vanilla progression without feeling overpowered

⚠️ Disadvantages / Notes

  • Dyes are no longer purely rare loot items
  • Depending on your playstyle, this can slightly reduce the “specialness” of finding dyes in the world
  • If you prefer strict vanilla scarcity, this mod may feel too convenient

🎯 Gameplay Focus

This mod is designed for players who want:

  • more reliable access to dyes
  • better base organization
  • consistent color customization
  • a crafting-based alternative to RNG

đź”— Compatibility

This mod is intended to be lightweight and should work alongside most crafting and UI mods.
It does not overwrite vanilla mechanics — it only adds/adjusts recipes to make dyes craftable and better integrated.
