- Can be used to reproduce exact hex colors: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Dye#Dyeing_armor
Important Dyeing Notes
- Only in versions 1.21.5+
- To remove a dye color, use a water bottle in a smithing table
- If a smithing table is used to dye at any point, the color lore becomes permanent
- If you get stuck with a permanent color lore, you can always reset by undyeing the elytra in a smithing table
