	==== Dye mixing formula ====		==== Dye mixing formula ====
	~~Each edition~~ of the ~~game uses a specific formula for calculating~~ the color of dyed armor~~. In this formula,~~ the color ~~of armor or cauldron water~~, ~~and~~ each ~~dye~~ color~~, in~~ the ~~RGB~~ color ~~model, has a~~ red ~~value~~, green ~~value~~, and blue ~~value~~.		===== {{JE}} =====
			In ''Java Edition'', dyes can be applied to a piece of leather armor using crafting.

			When dyeing leather armor in a crafting grid, the final color is calculated using the color values of all dyes used, plus the armor's existing color (if it is already dyed). Undyed armor does not contribute to the color calculation.

			Suppose for <math>\text{N}</math> colors being combinedeach, each color <math>\text{n}</math> is made up of the <math>\text{R}_\text{n}</math> (<span style="color:#F44;">'''red'''</span>), <math>\text{G}_\text{n}</math> (<span style="color:#0C0;">'''green'''</span>), and <math>\text{B}_\text{n}</math> (<span style="color:#66F;">'''blue'''</span>) {{w\|sRGB}} components, each of which ranges from 0 (no intensity) to 1 (maximum intensity).

			The bightness scaling factor is calculated as the average of each color's brightest component divided by the brightest component of the averaged color.

	{{~~Collapse~~		<math>\text{factor}=\frac{\sum\text{max}\left(\text{R},\text{G},\text{B}\right)}{\text{max}\left(\sum\text{R},\sum\text{G},\sum\text{B}\right)}</math>
	~~\|title='''~~{{JE}}~~'''~~
	~~\|content=~~		The final color is the average of all colors times the brightness scaling factor.
	~~In ''Java Edition'', dyes can be applied to a piece~~ of ~~leather armor using crafting~~.

	~~Suppose each color is a point on the coordinate plane,~~ <math>c=\~~left(r,g,b~~\~~right)</math>. This means that:~~		<math>\text{C}_\text{final}=\frac{\sum\text{C}}\text{N}\cdot\text{factor}</math>
	*<math>r</math> (the <span style="color:#f44;">'''red '''</span> component) is <math>c.x</math>
	*<math>g</math> (the <span style="color:#0c0;">'''green'''</span> component) is <math>c.y</math>
	*<math>b</math> (the <span style="color:#66f;">'''blue '''</span> component) is <math>c.z</math>

	~~The formula~~ to ~~mix a list~~ of ~~colors, <math>c_~~{~~s}</math>, is this:~~		Each component is rounded to multiples of {{frac\|1\|255}}.
	*<math>f\left(c_{~~s}\right)=\~~frac~~{\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}\right)\cdot\operatorname{mean~~}~~\left(\max\left(c_{s~~}.~~x,c_{s}.y,c_{s}.z\right)\right)}{\max\left(\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}.x\right),\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}.y\right),\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}.z\right)\right)}</math>~~

	''~~'Notes:~~'''		===== {{BE}} =====
	*If the armor is dyed, ~~its color is the first element in <math>c_{s}</math>.~~		In ''Bedrock Edition'', dyes cannot be applied to armor directly and are applied to [[Minecraft:cauldron]] water instead. When a dye is used on undyed cauldron water, the water becomes dyed, and will have the color of that dye.
	*If the armor ~~is undyed, it has no color.~~
	*The color values of all of the dyes used in the crafting recipe make up the rest of the element in <math>c_{s}</math>.
	*Since the [[Minecraft:~~crafting table~~]] ~~grid only has 9 slots 1 to 8 dyes can be~~ used, ~~so <math>c_{s}</math> can have anywhere from 1 to 9 element. If~~ the ~~player uses the [[Minecraft:2×2 grid]], then only 1 to 3 dyes can be used~~, and ~~<math>c_{s}</math>~~ will have ~~1 to 4 element~~.

	~~That formula could also be split up like this:~~		When a dye is used on dyed cauldron water, the resulting color is the average of the color in the cauldron and the applied color in {{w\|sRGB}}, with each component ranging from 0 (no intensity) to 1 (maximum intensity).
	*<math>p_{max}\left(c\right)=\max\left(c.x,c.y,~~c.z\right)</math>~~
	*<math>\frac{~~\operatorname~~{~~mean~~}~~\left(c_{s~~}~~\right)\cdot\operatorname{mean}\left(p_{max}\left~~(~~c_{s}\right~~)~~\right)}{p_{max}\left~~(~~\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}\right~~)~~\right)}</math>~~

	~~In the split up formula,~~ <math>\~~operatorname~~{~~mean~~}\~~left(p_~~{~~max~~}\left(c_{s}\right)\right)</math> is called the average maximum, and <math>p_{max}\left(\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}\right)\right)</math> is called the maximum average. The average maximum divided by the maximum average is the alpha factor.		<math>\text{C}_\text{final}=\frac{\text{C}_\text{current}+\text{C}_\text{dye}}{2}</math>
	*<math>\alpha=\frac{\~~operatorname{mean}\left(p_{max}\left(c_{s}\right)\right)}{p_{max}\left(\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}\right)\right)}</math>~~
	*Or without the <math>p_{max}</math> function: <math>\frac{\operatorname{~~mean~~}\~~left(\max\left(c_~~{s}~~.x,c_{s}.y,c_{s}.z\right)~~\~~right)}~~{~~\max\left(\frac{\operatorname{total}\left(c_{s}.x\right)}{c_{s~~}.\~~operatorname~~{~~length~~}}~~,\frac{\operatorname~~{~~total}\left(c_{s}.y\right)}{c_{s}.\operatorname{length}},\frac{\operatorname{total}\left(c_{s}.z\right)}{c_{s}.\operatorname{length}}\right)~~}</math>

	~~For this formula, the exact order~~ of ~~[[Minecraft:w:floating point\|floating point]] operations matters.~~		Each component is floored to multiples of {{frac\|1\|255}}.
	* <math>x\cdot\frac{y}{~~z}</math> is not the same as <math>\~~frac~~{x\cdot y}{z}</math>.~~
	* <math>f_{a}\left(c_{s}\right)</math> cannot be written as <math>\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}\right)\cdot\frac{\operatorname{mean}\left(p_{max}\left(c_{s}\right)\right)}{p_{max}\left(\operatorname{mean}\left(c_{s}~~\right)\right)~~}~~</math>, because some mix operations would give slightly different colors~~.

	}}		===== Storage {{in\|be}} =====
	{{~~Collapse~~		''Bedrock Edition'' stores each color as ARGB32, using 8 bits (1 byte) for each sRGB component, usually represented as a number from 0 to 255.
	\|~~title='''{{BE~~}}~~'''~~
	~~\|content~~=
	In ''Bedrock Edition'', ~~dyes cannot be applied~~ to ~~armor directly and are applied to [[Minecraft:cauldron]] water instead~~. ~~When a dye is used on undyed cauldron water, the water becomes dyed, and will have the color of that dye. When a dye is used on dyed cauldron water, a simple formula is~~
	*<math>c_{next}=\left\lfloor\frac{c_{current}+c_{dye}}{2}\right\rfloor</math>

	~~'''Notes:'''~~ (~~when adding a single dye to dyed cauldron water~~)		* The left most byte is the alpha component (opacity).
	*~~<math>c_{~~next~~}</math>~~ is the ~~color that the dyed water will have after the dye is added~~.		* The next byte is the red component.
	*~~<math>c_{current}</math>~~ is the ~~color of the dyed water before the dye is added~~.		* The next byte is the green component.
	*~~<math>c_{dye}</math>~~ is the ~~color of the dye~~.		* The right most byte is the blue component.

	~~''Bedrock Edition'' encodes each of these colors as an ARGB integer, which can also be thought of as a list of four integers.~~		The [[#Color values\|color values]] of the dye items are stored in the RGBA format.{{info needed\|But it says ARGB right above? Is it A first or last?}}
	* The first byte of the integer is the alpha component (A) of the color.
	* The second byte of the integer is the red component (R) of the color.
	* The third byte of the integer is the green component (G) of the color.
	* The fourth byte of the integer is the blue component (B) of the color.
	* A value of <math>x</math> in any given component corresponds to a value of <math>y=\operatorname{rounddown}\left(255\cdot x\right)</math> in the [[Minecraft:w:RGBA\|RGBA]] format.
	* The [[#Color values\|color values]] of the dye items are stored in the RGBA format. ~~To convert a value of <math>x</math> in the RGBA format to a float for the mixing algorithm, the formula <math>x=\frac~~{y}{~~255}</math> is used.~~

	Most dyes can be crafted from [[Minecraft:flower]]s and a few other items; some dyes can be crafted by combining multiple dyes of different colors, and every dye is [[Minecraft:trading\|sold]] by the [[Minecraft:wandering trader]]. Some dyes can be found in loot, and [[Minecraft:green dye]] and [[Minecraft:lime dye]] are obtained by smelting. [[Minecraft:Purple dye]] is the only dye where the only method of being obtained is by crafting from other dyes. In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. For example, magenta can be crafted with one blue dye, two red dyes and one white dye.
