One of the most straightforward ways for Minecraft players to get red dye is to craft it for themselves. Red dye can be formulated by converting a single poppy, red tulip, beetroot, or a rose bush. Converting the latter grants two red dye, while the others will create a single red dye.

Flower forest biomes will be the best location to track down the various red types of flowers. Poppy and red tulips can be found in plains and sunflower plains biomes as well. Poppy are slightly more common as they are additionally found in a forest, birch forest, and dark forest biomes.

Rose bushes will naturally generate in a set amount in the flower forest biome type upon world creation. Players who can successfully gather one of these should not immediately convert it to red dye.

Instead, they can use bone meal on the plant to continually get a new rose bush for each bone meal expended. This will help preserve precious resources, as each world only has a finite amount of rose bushes. Bone meal, on the other hand, can be consistently farmed from an automatic hostile mob farm.

Beetroots can be found as one of the crops growing in a Minecraft village. Also, they can sometimes be bought from novice-level farmer villagers.

Once Minecraft players have at least one of the necessary components, all they have to do is pop it into their player crafting window or a crafting table. The items can be converted into red dye from there.
