Crafting Blue Dye step by step

Blue Dye can be crafted in 2 ways — the grid above cycles through all of them. Variant 1 is a shaped crafting recipe that uses 1 item: 1 Lapis Lazuli. Place the ingredients exactly in the pattern shown above. The pattern can sit anywhere on the grid as long as its shape stays the same. Because it fits into 2×2 slots, you can craft it directly in your inventory — no crafting table needed.

  1. Open your inventory (2×2 crafting grid) or a crafting table.
  2. Place 1 Lapis Lazuli in the pattern shown above (variant 1 — or the ingredients of any other variant).
  3. Take the Blue Dye from the result slot and move it into your inventory.
