Dye is one of the craftable options in Minecraft that is truly flexible. With white dye, players can create 16 combinations of dyes from the usual white default. Customizing Black Dye is no different than creating Light Blue Dye or any other mixed dye – simply combine White and Black to create two Gray Dyes.
To craft Gray Dye, the player will need at least one Black and White Dye. Light colored dyes are unique in that they require white dye to mix with. However, white dye is plentiful as three can be obtained from a single bone of a skeleton. Skeletons will show up in your game at night, so it is feasible to dye your bed by your second night in Minecraft. Black Dye can be crafted from Squid from any biome.
Required Materials to craft a Gray Bed
To craft Gray Dye in Minecraft, you will need the following:
