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

2. Add Items to make Yellow Dye

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make yellow 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 2 patterns you can use as a crafting recipe for yellow dye:

Pattern 1

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

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

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the pattern, the yellow dye will appear in the box to the right.

Once you have crafted yellow dye, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made yellow dye in Minecraft!
