How to Get Light Grey Dye in SkyFactory 4: 1 Minute to Light Up Your Building Projects

In SkyFactory 4, a popular Minecraft modpack, light grey dye is often required for various crafting recipes and decorative purposes. Unlike traditional vanilla Minecraft, the modpack introduces unique methods for resource gathering and crafting due to its progression system and inclusion of different mods. Here’s how you can obtain light grey dye in SkyFactory 4:

1. Combining Dyes Method:

You can craft light grey dye by combining two different dyes in a crafting grid:

1. White Dye: Obtain from bone meal (by crushing bones) or from certain flowers like Lily of the Valley if present.
2. Grey Dye: Crafted by combining black dye (from ink sacs, which can be automated from squids, or black lotus seeds if available) and white dye.

Once you have grey dye and white dye, combine them in any pattern to get light grey dye (1 white dye + 1 grey dye = 2 light grey dye).

2. Flower Petal Method:

Certain flowers directly yield light grey dye when placed in the crafting grid. In modded Minecraft, flowers like Azure Bluet, Oxeye Daisy, and White Tulip can often be converted straight into light grey dye. Grow these using bone meal on grass blocks or through botany pots if available in your world.

3. Market Trading:

Many SkyFactory 4 worlds include the "Market" from the Farming for Blockheads mod. You can trade seeds or other items for light grey flower seeds, then grow and harvest them for dyes.

Tips 1:

As a designer, I always encourage planning your color schemes before starting large builds. In SkyFactory 4, using a dedicated interior design tool can help you visualize how light grey accents will look in your base, ensuring your creative vision is consistent from start to finish. Experimenting with dye options virtually can save you in-game resources and time!
