Create Colored Iron Bars for Decorative Builds

Why Dye Iron Bars?

Colored iron bars open up new design possibilities for windows, railings, cages, and decorative structures that go beyond the standard gray aesthetic.

Steps

1. Gather or craft iron bars (vanilla recipe applies)

2. Create a dyed paintbrush: Place a paintbrush in a crafting grid with any dye of your choice

3. Hold the dyed paintbrush in your hand

4. Right-click each iron bar block to paint it. The bars will change to your chosen color

5. Switch paintbrush colors as needed for multi-colored designs

Design Ideas

  • Create colored window frames by painting iron bars to match your build's theme
  • Design decorative railings or fences with gradient color transitions
  • Build stained-glass windows with colored iron bar accents
  • Paint bars in contrasting colors for intricate geometric patterns

Dyed iron bars connect to adjacent bars just like vanilla iron bars, so your structures remain fully functional while gaining visual flair.
