Usually, if you put an item that has already been dyed together with a new dye, it takes the color of the new dye. However, [[wool]] works slightly differently, and the colors will blend together in the way that crafting dyes work (eg. red wool and lapis lazuli craft purple wool). The only exception to this rule is white wool, which always directly takes the color of the dye.

Dying Dog Collars

Right clicking on a dog while holding a dye uses up the dye and changes the color of the dog's collar.

Crafting Ingredient

Unlike other dyes, cocoa beans cannot dye leather armor or be used to craft party hats. Lapis lazuli and bone meal are able to dye armor, but are also unable to be used to craft party hats.

The party hat is crafted using three different dyes.

Paper Red Dye Yellow Dye Green Dye Party Hat

Dyes are used to dye wool, glass, leather armor, bed, and balloons.

Usually, if you put an item that has already been dyed together with a new dye, it takes the color of the new dye. However, wool works slightly differently, and the colors will blend together in the way that crafting dyes work (eg. red wool and lapis lazuli craft purple wool). The only exception to this rule is white wool, which always directly takes the color of the dye.

Other Uses

Cocoa beans, lapis lazuli, bone meal and ink sacs, which can be used as brown, blue, white and black dyes respectively, can be used for other things. See the individual pages for more information.
