How to dye leather in Minecraft

The list of items you will need is not too large, though some may be a tad difficult to acquire based on the biome that you are in. Here is the list below:

1. Water Bucket

1. Cauldron

1. Full set of leather armor

1. Dye of your choosing

Thankfully, dying leather armor is more or less the same whether your playing Java, Bedrock, or even Pocket Edition. Here are the steps to achieving your freshly colored leather armor.

Step 1

Firstly, you’ll want to build a cauldron that you will then place down on the ground for your personal use. Once it’s been placed pour your water-filled bucket into the cauldron to fill it to the brim.

Step 2

Next, you’ll want to pick the dye of your choice and add it to the cauldron by clicking the use button. The color of the water should change depending on the dye that you have chosen.

Step 3

Finally, take the leather armor that you will be dying and press the use button to dip into the cauldron and change its color. You now have your freshly coated leather armor.

Q. Why Can’t I dye my armor in Minecraft?

You can only dye leather armor in Minecraft because the game is specifically set up that way. No official reasoning has been given for this.

Q. Can you put two different colors in one piece of armor?

No. Only one color scheme per armor.

Q. After you dye the armor, there is still a part that is tan. Is there a way to dye that, too.?

Not unless you are using mods.
