Dyeable Saplings
A lightweight Minecraft 1.21.7 datapack that adds eight new shapeless crafting recipes, letting you “dye” any sapling into a different tree type. No commands, functions, or dependencies—just pure crafting.

What It Does
* Combine any vanilla sapling with a matching dye in a crafting table to get a new sapling type. * Supports these conversions:
* Pale Oak ← green dye * Pale Oak ← brown dye * Pale Oak ← white dye * Pale Oak ← lime dye * Pale Oak ← orange dye * Pale Oak ← black dye * Pale Oak ← pink dye * Pale Oak ← light gray dye
Installation
1. Download the `DyableSaplings` datapack ZIP or clone from Modrinth. 2. Place the `DyableSaplings` folder into your world’s `datapacks/` directory. 3. Launch Minecraft 1.21.4 or newer, then run `/reload` in‑game. 4. Verify it’s loaded with `/datapack list` (should show `DyableSaplings` enabled).
Usage
1. Open a crafting table. 2. Place any sapling in one slot. 3. Place the corresponding dye (see list above) in any other slot. 4. Retrieve your dyed sapling from the result slot.
> Example: any sapling + pink dye → Cherry Sapling
