How to Dye Villagers and Iron Golems

Recoloring Villagers

You are not limited to standard passive farm animals; you can also recolor humanoid mobs such as villagers to customize settlements or differentiate work areas.

1. Obtain the normal dye item of your choice, such as red or green dye.

2. Equip the dye item in your main hand.

3. Approach the villager you wish to recolor.

4. Aim your crosshair at the villager and right-click to apply the dye. The villager's appearance will shift to reflect the chosen color, making it easy to identify them in farm plots or village buildings.

Coloring Village Defenders

Large utility mobs like iron golems can also be recolored using this system.

1. Hold your desired dye item (for example, blue dye) in your hand.

2. Walk up to the iron golem guarding your area.

3. Target the iron golem with your crosshairs and press right-click.

The iron golem will change its visual tone to match the dye in your hand. This allows you to coordinate village guards with surrounding architecture or thematic builds.
