	{{IN\|bedrock\|education}}, [[Minecraft:bone meal]], [[Minecraft:ink sac]]s, [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]], and [[Minecraft:cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[Minecraft:white dye]], [[Minecraft:black dye]], [[Minecraft:blue dye]], and [[Minecraft:brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that ~~aren't~~ related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only regarding their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.		{{IN\|bedrock\|education}}, [[Minecraft:bone meal]], [[Minecraft:ink sac]]s, [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]], and [[Minecraft:cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[Minecraft:white dye]], [[Minecraft:black dye]], [[Minecraft:blue dye]], and [[Minecraft:brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs.

	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]] is obtained by smelting [[Minecraft:cactus]].

Some dyes can be found in loot, and [[Minecraft:green dye]] is obtained by smelting [[Minecraft:cactus]]. 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 red dye and two white dyes.
