How do you make Green Dye in Minecraft?

Minecraft Green Dye

There are a few ways to get Green Dye in Minecraft. By far, the easiest way is for players to make it themselves, and it requires very basic resources and technology to do it. However, it can also be found as loot or bought from traders.

To make Green Dye, players must first build a smelter, which is the workstation needed to craft it. Then, players should look for a desert biome where they can harvest Cactus. The Cactus can then be placed in the smelter. Players can then add any fuel source to create Green Dye.



For those hoping to find Green Dye pre-made, it can be found in house chests found in villages, but only in the desert biome. Alternatively, players can purchase it from some wandering traders for the price of one emerald.
