-- minetest/dye/init.lua

-- To make recipes that will work with any dye ever made by anybody, define
-- them based on groups.
-- You can select any group of groups, based on your need for amount of colors.
-- basecolor: 9, excolor: 17, unicolor: 89
--
-- Example of one shapeless recipe using a color group:
-- Note: As this uses basecolor_*, you'd need 9 of these.

--     type = "shapeless",
--     output = '<mod>:item_yellow',
--     recipe = {'<mod>:item_no_color', 'group:basecolor_yellow'},
-- })
