Dyes are good for only one thing at this point, that being to make colored wool. This is great, but there can be far more done to make dyes useful. These idea have been suggested before, but the ideas fall off quickly and are forgotten. I must insist upon them more so that Notch adds them.
The first and most popular idea is stained glass. My desire to have colored glass is overwhelming, especially when I want to make a cathedral in game. This could be done by either crafting glass with dyes, or by using the dyes on the glass. I don't want to say some craziness about adding it in with sand and then smelting it, because realism in minecraft often would make things annoying. This would be one of those times.
The second idea I had was actually making colored wool clothing pieces. Now this one is just for looks as well, but think aobut the implications in multiplayer. PvP would be less confusing with team colors, and spleef would also be much easier to play by having team uniforms.
The third idea is more silly and wishful than actual suggestion, but colored water would be fun to have. I can't think of any reason it would be useful, just that it would be neat looking.

So you say 1.4 is fail because you don't know how to update your server? WTF
Thats like saying all cars fail because you don't know how to put gas in them.
Having stained glass and/or coloured bricks would be great, although it would add alot of new images to the terrain.png. However, there are still about 90 free spaces in there.
As for the coloured cloth armour, I was like great idea, but then I remembered you could just change your skin, and that adding 16 new sets of armour would take awhile.
And coloured water is pretty silly, kinda cool, but would take up alot of space, as water has an animation that takes up 5 blocks, so with all the different colours of wool, that comes out to 56 new terraign.png blocks.
you guys are funny. Does it make any difference that there would be more images? Its not like its a big deal. Its also less fun to have people quit the game, download a new skin, re-upload it to their profile and log back in just for one event. No one does that. Having even just like a red blue green and yellow armor set would be a good start. The point is to make it easier on the player, not Notch >.>

Notch can do the entire 'Shade it this way' majiggy, because it is done with leaves on trees. They are made grayscale, then he uses the grayscale blocks and shades 'em differently with good ol' Java tools.
no....use the search bar.....(hint: top right corner)
hint I did and I stated that in the op. I suggest you read instead of telling me to search bar. I plan to keep this one alive, that is why I have it. I also plan to add in other good dye related ideas if they should come up.

That's my 2 cents :tongue.gif:

Bat Solo.
What degree? Celsius, Fahrenheit? Angular degree? :tongue.gif:
Thanks for the support for this idea I am pretty sure many people would find the stained glass at the very least useful.
