Required Materials to make Green Dye

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

1 Cactus

How to craft Green Dye in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren't sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Item to make Green Dye

Next, place the block of cactus in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the block of cactus.

Once the cactus is cooked in the furnace, the green dye will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Green Dye to Inventory

Now that you have made green dye in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made green dye in Minecraft!
