About Black Dye

Black Dye is one of the basic colouring items in Minecraft. You can use it to dye wool, beds, terracotta, glass, concrete powder, leather armour, banners, shulker boxes, and candles. You can also apply it directly to sheep to change their wool colour, or use it on a tamed wolf or cat to colour its collar.

Works in most crafting recipes that ask for a dye.

How to get Black Dye

The easiest way to get Black Dye is to craft it from an ink sac, which squids drop. One ink sac makes one black dye. You can also craft it from a wither rose, a rare flower that works the same way. Wandering traders sometimes sell three black dye for one emerald, which is handy if you are far from an ocean.
