Crafting Purple Dye step by step

Purple Dye can be crafted in 2 ways — the grid above cycles through all of them. Variant 1 is a shapeless crafting recipe that uses 2 items: 1 Blue Dye and 1 Red Dye. The position of the ingredients does not matter — put them into any free slots of the grid. 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 Blue Dye and 1 Red Dye into any free slots (variant 1 — or the ingredients of any other variant).
  3. Take the 2× Purple Dye from the result slot and move it into your inventory.
