To make your home a bit more colorful, Minecraft introduced dyes of multiple colors: blue, red, yellow, orange, and more. Out of all colors, orange is one of the warmest and is perfect for decorating the inside of your house.
There are two ways to get an orange dye in Minecraft. Either get it from an orange tulip or combine red and yellow dye. You could potentially buy the dye for emeralds from villagers or the Wandering Trader too.
Craft From an Orange Tulip
To get an orange dye directly, you will need an orange tulip. It is the only source of orange dye but it can be challenging to find.
While you can find them randomly in a field you are more likely to find orange tulips in the Meadows (Flower Forest) biome as it’s filled with flowers. Pay attention to the flowers growing if you want to use bone meal – if in an area there are only sunflowers, bone meal will only generate more sunflowers.
Put the orange tulip in a crafting menu and it will give you one orange dye.
Combine Red and Yellow Dye
An easy method to get an orange dye in Minecraft is to combine red and yellow dyes in the crafting menu. Red and yellow are much easier to obtain compared to looking for an orange tulip.
For a red dye, you can use a beetroot, red tulip, a rose bush, or a poppy flower. And for the yellow dye, you will need either a dandelion or a sunflower. Most of them can be easily found in biomes like forests, plains, and mountains.
Combining red and yellow dyes will give you two orange dyes. One for each ingredient used.
Buy From Villagers or Traders
Lastly, if flowers don’t grow anywhere near you, your only option is to trade the dye out from villagers (if there is a village around) or a Wandering Trader.
You can find both the dye and the flowers when trading, but that depends on how lucky you are. The prices are usually around 3 emeralds for 3 dyes, which is not too horrible considering you aren’t able to make it yourself.
