How to Dye Enchantment Glints on Your Gear

By default, enchanted items in Minecraft all share the same purple sheen. With Not Enough Glints, you can replace that standard glow on your equipment with custom colors using ordinary vanilla dyes at a smithing table.

Required Materials

Before starting, gather the following vanilla items:

  • A Smithing Table: Crafted from two iron ingots and four wooden planks, or found inside a village toolsmith house.
  • Your Gear Piece: You can customize tools, weapons, armor pieces, or elytra.
  • One Honeycomb: Harvested by using shears on a full beehive or bee nest. Place a lit campfire underneath the nest first so the bees stay calm.
  • Any Vanilla Dye: Choose from any of the standard Minecraft dye colors to coordinate with your skin or armor.

Applying the Colored Glint

1. Place down your smithing table and right-click it to open the smithing menu.

2. Place your chosen weapon, tool, armor piece, or elytra into the smithing input slots along with one honeycomb and your selected vanilla dye.

3. Check the output slot on the right side of the menu to preview your equipment with its new colored sheen.

4. Move the finished item into your inventory to complete the customization.
