A Forge mod for Minecraft 1.8 that creates non-leather, dyeable cloth armor First mod, first readme so bear with me here This mod introduces a single set of cloth armor made from wool in the normal armor crafting patterns. However, this armor is dyeable much like leather armor is in minecraft. Combine white wool in a crafting grid to get the clothes then combine each piece with your desired dye to get a colored version.
If you have any questions about the source code feel free to ask. So far as I know, this is the only complete code around that is functionally identical to leather dyeing.
