# 📚 Colorful Books ![4 Books: Book dyed yellow, Written Book dyed lime, Book and Quill dyed cyan & Enchanted book dyed red](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/146e8395515862456c1da48ac258718072f54ab2.png) # # 🎨 Dyeing & Undyeing Dye as vanilla does it! Combine dyes with a **Book, Book and Quill, Written Book or Enchanted Book** in crafting grid to give it a splash of color. Wash off your dye by using a dyed book on a **Cauldron** with water in it. Don't worry, the ink of your written pages won't come off! ![2 GUIs: Inventory, where a Book and Quill is combined with Purple Dye to dye it & Crafting Table, where an already dyed Book is combined with White, Blue & Yellow dye to give it a unique tint.

When crafting an **Enchanting Table** with a dyed book, the Enchanting Table will display a dyed book in the world and in the GUI. **Chiseled Bookshelves** will also display the color of their books, allowing you to organize and decorate! ![2 GUIs: Enchanting Table GUI, with an Iron Sword & 5 Lapis, the book is green & Crafting Table where an Enchanting Table is crafted with a pink dyed book.

If a book has multiple enchantments, it will blend them! ![1 GUI: Chest with loot, and a tooltip showing an Enchanted Book that is "Dyed".
