Crafting Red Dye step by step

Red Dye can be crafted in 4 ways — the grid above cycles through all of them. Variant 1 is a shaped crafting recipe that uses 1 item: 1 Poppy. 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 Poppy in the pattern shown above (variant 1 — or the ingredients of any other variant).
  3. Take the Red Dye from the result slot and move it into your inventory.
