The Process of Crafting Green Dye within Minecraft
1.Put wood or coal in the section designated for fuel in the furnace.
Interact with the furnace to bring up the furnace interface.
Insert some fuel into the lower part of the furnace, such as several pieces of wood or some coal.If you don't have a furnace, first make a crafting table. Gather 8 cobblestones and arrange them in a circular pattern (shaped like an "O") on the crafting table to construct your own furnace.
2.Cactus blocks can be obtained in the desert and badlands biomes.
However, when you mine this kind of block, you need to be cautious. If you touch it with your bare hands, it will deplete half a heart's worth of your health. Additionally, wandering traders might provide cactus blocks in return for 1 emerald.
3.Wait for several seconds until the cactus is transformed into green dye.
Once the smelting process is finished, retrieve the green dye from the output slot on the right side of the furnace interface. The green dye should look like a green leaf.
How to Craft Lime Dye in Minecraft
1.Mix bone meal and green dye on a crafting table.
Interact with the crafting table and put your green dye into one of the slots, together with some bone meal. Then, take the lime dye from the output slot on the right side of the crafting interface.
If you don't have bone meal, place a bone in the middle of the crafting table. This will yield a total of 3 units of bone meal. Bones are commonly dropped by skeletons, so they shouldn't be overly hard to obtain.
2.Smelt sea pickles inside a furnace.
Put a sea pickle in the upper part of the furnace interface, and add a fuel source, such as wood or coal, to the lower part. Once the smelting is complete, a lime dye will appear in the output slot on the right side of the furnace.If you don't have any sea pickles, look for them in the coral reef areas. These blocks usually spawn close to the surface.
