In Minecraft, players can use dye to change the color of various in-game items, such as carpets, wool, and even glass. They can also use dye to change the color of certain armors, but this can be confusing as the process varies between platforms. That said, here's everything you need to know about how to dye armor in Minecraft.
How to Dye Armor in Minecraft (All Platforms)
To dye armor in Minecraft you will need to craft dye and leather armor and then place both in a crafting table as shown below. You will need to repeat this process for each piece of leather armor you have crafted; this is also the process for most platforms except Minecraft Bedrock and Pocket Edition.
In the Bedrock and Pocket edition, you will need to follow a few extra steps to dye armor in Minecraft. To start, you'll need to craft a cauldron with seven iron ingots, as shown below.
Place the cauldron and fill it with water; you can do this with water jugs or a bucket full of water. If you don't know how to make either, you can make both with the same recipe. Before you can get a water jar, you need to make a glass jar with the following recipe below with glass.
To craft an iron bucket, all you have to do is follow the same recipe, but instead of glass, you use iron ingots. Once both are crafted, walk to a water source and use your interact key to get water to refill your water jug or bucket.
