Required Materials to make Red Dye

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft red dye:

How to craft Red Dye in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Red Dye

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make red dye, you will need to place specific items in the grid. It is important that the items are placed in the exact pattern as our example images. Changing the pattern of boxes that are filled will change the item that is crafted.

There are 4 patterns you can use as a crafting recipe for red dye:

Pattern 1

In the first row, there should be 1 poppy in the first box.
