What flower in Minecraft makes blue dye?

To make blue dye in Minecraft, you will need to gather one of two materials in the game and place them inside a crafting table.

The materials you will need to make blue dye include both cornflowers and lapis lazuli. You can get cornflowers by searching either the flower forest or plains biome, and one cornflower will net you one blue dye.

To get lapis lazuli, you will need to search deep underground and mine it with at least a stone pickaxe or higher. Doing so should net you around four to eight lapis lazuli per block. You can also get more of the resource if you enchant your pickaxe with fortune.

In fact, if you get fortune three, you can get a whopping 32 lapis lazuli per block, so we highly recommend getting that enchantment before trying to farm lapis lazuli

That being said, once you gathered enough of the resource, you will be able to make blue dye by placing either one inside a crafting table.

Once you make blue dye, you will then be able to make all sorts of items such as blue terracotta, blue dye wool, and much more.

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft light blue dye with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, light blue dye is one of the many dyes that you can make. There is more than one way to craft light blue dye.

1 Blue Orchid

1 Blue Dye

1 White Dye

How to craft Light Blue Dye in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make Light Blue Dye

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make light blue 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 light blue dye:

Pattern 1

There should be 1 blue dye and 1 white dye in the first 2 boxes.

Pattern 2

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

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

3. Move the Light Blue Dye to Inventory

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

Congratulations, you have made light blue dye in Minecraft!
