Bring Bedrock's cauldron-based armor dyeing to Java Edition.
This mod adds Bedrock's ability to dye leather armor or leather horse armor with cauldrons to Java Edition. The usage is the same as in Bedrock, right-clicking on a water cauldron with dye will dye the water; adding dye multiple times will blend the dye same as in a crafting table. When you right-click on the dyed water cauldron with a dyeable item, it will add the current color in the cauldron to the item. Right-clicking on an un-dyed water cauldron with a dyed item to remove its color will still work.
Cauldron Dyeing requires Fabric or Quilt loader and FAPI or QFAPI. The latest release is available on the Modrinth or Github releases. To install, just drag the mod jar into your mods folder along with either FAPI or QFAPI.
Building the mod requires JDK 17+ on your system. To build, simply run ./gradlew build and the artifacts will be available in build/libs.
Cauldron Dyeing is ensured to be compatible with (Quilted) Fabric API, CaffeineMC mods, and Iris, if any incompatibility is found please report it on the issue tracker.
Note: The current method of displaying dyed water is not compatible with shaders that customize water color such as Complementary's Realistic-ish and RTX-ish settings.
Report any bugs, crashes, or other issues that may arise on the issue tracker.
