To craft Orange Dye in Minecraft, you need to place a flower such as an Eyeblossom, Orange Tulip, or Torchflower into a crafting table. Alternatively, you can combine one yellow dye and one red dye to create orange through color mixing. In this guide, we’ll take a look at all the methods of obtaining this color in Minecraft.
How to make Orange Dye using flowers
In the world of Minecraft, there are three flowers that can be used to directly obtain orange dye: Orange Tulip, Torchflower, and Eyeblossom. It’s a fast, simple, and convenient method.
Orange Tulip
Orange Tulip is the oldest and most well-known flower that grows exclusively in the Flower Forest biome, where you can also find other tulip colors. This flower is easy to recognize by its vibrant, warm-colored petals. Once collected, simply place it in the crafting table to get one unit of orange dye.
Torchflower
Torchflower is one of those plants that doesn’t grow naturally in the wild — it has to be cultivated. To obtain a Torchflower, you need Torchflower Seeds, which can only be found by a Sniffer while it’s sniffing the ground. After planting the seeds and waiting for the flower to grow, you can harvest it and use it to craft orange dye. One flower gives you one unit of dye, so it’s not the most efficient method, considering how much effort it takes to produce.
Eyeblossom
Eyeblossom is one of the more interesting plants found in the Pale Garden biome, and its unique feature is that it changes form depending on the time of day. During the day, it remains closed, while at night, it opens. To obtain orange dye from an Eyeblossom, you need to harvest it at night when it’s open, then place it into the crafting table.
How to make orange dye by mixing yellow and red colors
If you don’t have any of the flowers mentioned above, you can always use the classic method – combining two basic dyes: yellow and red. Just place both colors into the crafting table, and you’re done.
This method has many advantages, since both red and yellow dyes are easy to obtain. Red dye is usually made from poppies, which grow almost everywhere – in plains, forests, and even near villages. You can also use red tulips. Yellow dye, on the other hand, is crafted from dandelions or sunflowers – common yellow flowers found in grassy biomes. They’re easy to grow and can be duplicated using bone meal.
