About Cyan Dye
Cyan Dye is a blue-green dye used to colour wool, carpets, beds, concrete powder, terracotta, glass and leather armour. It is a secondary colour, so players usually mix it from other dyes instead of finding it ready-made.
Key facts:
- Stacks to 64.
- You can apply it directly to sheep to change their wool colour.
- It works in most dyeing recipes, from banners to shulker boxes.
How to get Cyan Dye
You can get Cyan Dye mainly by crafting it. Combine blue dye and green dye to receive two Cyan Dye. Blue dye comes from lapis lazuli or cornflowers, and green dye comes from smelting cactus.
You can also craft it from a pitcher plant, or buy it from some wandering traders, who may sell three Cyan Dye for one emerald. It is not found as loot in chests.
