🎨 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
• Adds crafting recipes for dye colors (vanilla-friendly)
• Balanced crafting costs (no free dyes, no trader dependency)
• Small supporting recipe adjustments for a more complete dye system
• 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.
