Getting started on your leather dying journey in Minecraft Education Edition

The first step towards getting some leather armor to dye will be harvesting the materials required to craft the leather and the dye you want to use. To get started, you will need to first make a crafting table where you can create your armor. This can be made using four wood planks.

After making the crafting table, take leather (which is harvested from cows), and place it into the crafting table, depending on the type of armor you wish to craft. To craft a full set of leather armor, you will need 24 pieces of leather.

Dying the armor in the cauldron in Minecraft Education Edition

After creating your armor set and picking your favorite color, the last step is setting up a cauldron to begin the dying process. To make a cauldron, you will need seven iron ingots. You will have to place three iron ingots on either side of the crafting table and one in the middle of the bottom row.

After crafting the cauldron, place it, and use a bucket of water to fill it up with water. If done correctly, you will see the water appear inside the cauldron.

Now, take the color of dye you wish to use for your armor and place it on your toolbar. Select it so that your character is holding it in their hand, approach the cauldron, and interact with it. After doing so, the water will turn to the color of the dye you have chosen.

Next, place the armor piece you wish to dye into your hand, approach the cauldron, and interact with it. Your piece of armor should now be dyed, and you can go about the world of Minecraft Education Edition in style.
