About Brown Dye

Brown Dye is one of the sixteen dye colours in Minecraft. You can use it to colour wool, beds, glass, terracotta, concrete powder, candles, shulker boxes, and banners. You can also apply it directly to sheep before shearing, or combine it with leather armour at a crafting table to make brown leather gear.

Key facts:

One cocoa bean makes one Brown Dye.
Works in all standard dye recipes, including brown concrete and brown candles.
Useful for earthy, wooden, or animal-themed builds.

How to get Brown Dye

You get Brown Dye by crafting it. Place a single cocoa bean anywhere in a crafting grid to make one dye. Cocoa beans grow on the sides of jungle logs, so look for mature orange pods on jungle trees and break them open. For a steady supply, plant cocoa beans on jungle logs at your base and harvest them whenever the pods are fully grown.

Wandering traders sometimes sell cocoa beans, which you can then craft into Brown Dye.
