\n# \ud83c\udfa8 Dyeing & Undyeing
\nDye 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!

\n# \u2712\ufe0f Lectern, Writing & Librarian
\nWrite with color! **Book and Quills & Written Books** which are dyed will display their dye on a **Lectern** or in their respective GUIs for everyone to see. **Librarians** will still accept dyed books for their **Trades**, and even keep the dye!

\n# \u2728 Enchanting Table & Chiseled Bookshelves
\nDisplay with pride! 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!

\n# \ud83c\udfe6 Enchanted Books & Loot
\nEnchant with mysteriouly colorful books! **Enchanted Books** found as **Loot** will be dyed based on their **Enchantments**. If a book has multiple enchantments, it will blend them!
