How to get brown dye in Minecraft

Compared to other dyes, brown dye is an extremely rare and hard to obtain dye in Minecraft. This blog post will highlight all the ways to obtain brown dye and its uses!

Method 1 (Crafting)

1. Locate a jungle.

2. Find a cocoa pod on the trees, and break it. You will obtain cocoa beans.

3. Use a crafting grid or table to craft the cocoa beans into brown dye.

Method 2 (Shearing)

1. Find a brown sheep. Unfortunately, brown sheep are extremely rare and only about three percent of sheep that spawn in Minecraft will be brown.

2. (Optional). Use two irons in a diagonal formation to craft shears.
