About
El and L’s Dyes expands Minecraft’s dye palette with 20 dyes that support vanilla dye uses, including banners and fireworks, alongside new ways to bring their colors into building and exploration. Its decorative additions include dyable corrugated iron and Mucktuff, plus colored brick types such as lavender, mint, coralsoil, and amber bricks. New crops and foods include mint in meadows and birch forests, artichokes in savannas and sparse jungles, beach-growing pineapples, and strawberries in treeless biomes; peach trees also grow peaches in sparse jungles, while cherries can drop from cherry blossom trees. The mod adds flowers and other plants such as lavender, cordylines, thistles, periwinkles, and hypericum, as well as wintergreen trees in cold climates and madder root, whose underground growth yields a distinct wood set. Lavender can be used to make soap and flowering melons, which can speed up or stop baby animals’ growth, while waxcap mushrooms can be bone-mealed to grow into giant forms and provide wax as an alternative to beeswax. Other additions include sniffer plants and archaeology loot, ember arrows that light distant places, underground cinnabar used to make gas bombs, and rare cochineal beetles found on cacti, especially in the Badlands. The mod also provides integrations with Create and Create Deco, including dye support for Create objects and Nixie tubes.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Connects to the internet
- It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in Manningham Mills, a library it includes. See Privacy
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
