How to Change Leather Armour Colour in Minecraft

Last Updated: September 15, 2021

Did you know that you can color your leather armour in Minecraft? It's a great way to make yourself look different in Minecraft. This article will teach you how to dye your leather armour.

Steps

1
Obtain leather armour and dye. These are the only two things you'll need. Leather armour can be crafted with leather, which is obtained from cows. Dye can be made from flowers, bones, cactus, or by mining lapis lazuli, killing squids, gathering cocoa beans, and/or combining various other dyes.
2
Open your crafting menu. Press E or left click a crafting table [unless you changed your controls]. It can either be the one in your inventory or a crafting table. It does not matter.

You use water in a cauldron, dye the water, and click the cauldron while equipping the armor in your hand.
Question

After you dye the armor, there is still a part that is tan (for example, the knee caps on the leggings, the toes on the boots). Is there a way to dye that, too?

Get your armor from your inventory, then get a crafting table. Put your armor and any color dye in any two slots. Then, take it out and wear it.
