Steps to Dye a Sign in Java Edition

1. Place a Sign

In Minecraft Java Edition, you can dye any sign once it has been placed. By default, the text on all signs is black.

Here is an oak sign that has the text “Hello from DigMinecraft“.

To dye a sign, choose your dye and place it in the hotbar. Make sure that the dye is the selected item in the hotbar. In this example, we have chosen red dye to use as our dye color.

2. Use the Dye

Then use the dye on the sign. The game control to use the dye depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the sign.

When the sign has been dyed, the text on the sign will change color. In this case, we have used red dye so the color of the writing on the sign is now red.
