To make green dye in Minecraft, follow these steps:
- Find cactus blocks, which grow naturally in desert and badlands (mesa) biomes.
- Collect cactus blocks by breaking them.
- Use a furnace and place the cactus blocks in the top slot.
- Add fuel to the bottom slot of the furnace (coal, charcoal, wood, etc.).
- Wait for the cactus to smelt, which produces green dye (one cactus block yields one green dye).
Green dye can then be used to color various items like beds, carpets, wool, banners, terracotta, candles, shulker boxes, and more. It can also be combined with other dyes to create cyan or lime dye
. If you cannot find cactus, you can also obtain green dye by buying it from wandering traders or finding it in desert village chests, though cactus smelting is the primary method
