Minecraft fans want Mojang to make new pale oak blocks dyeable
Minecraft has a lot of wood types, and the game is about to get a new one called pale oak wood. More wood block types are great for players as they offer more possibilities for building structures. With the addition of pale oak wood, players are wondering what other features can be added to make this wood type even better. Some players have even come up with great ideas.
A Minecraft player and Reddit user named u/nirufe shared an image of the game on the subreddit, showing wood blocks of different colors, expressing how the upcoming pale oak wood would be even better if the developers gave the ability to dye it.
During Minecraft Live 2024, the developers announced an upcoming biome called the Pale Garden. This new biome will also introduce a new wood type called the pale oak wood, and as the name suggests, it has a pale and desaturated appearance.
Reacting to this post, user u/NanoCat0407 said they would like it if the woods had a slightly brighter color compared to the dyes so that they do not replace other wood blocks of similar colors such as mangrove or acacia.
Another user named u/-PepeArown- pointed out that the shared image made the brown version look exactly like birch.
User u/throwaway1626363h was impressed by the idea of dyed blocks, especially if there are pastel-colored blocks available. This will not make the existing wood blocks obsolete and offer new color choices at the same time.
u/Blaine1111 replied saying that players might complain that dyeing blocks would make the addition of more wood types useless. However, there is just one pastel color in Minecraft.
User u/throwaway1626363h has been waiting for colors such as mint or lavender for a long time. But that hasn't been made possible so far as only cherry is available.
User u/cluedo97 said that adding this feature would make the upcoming update a great one, further mentioning that these new colors do not interfere with the already present wood types such as spruce, dark oak, etc. These new wood colors would add to the pale color set.
Upcoming Minecraft update
Mojang Studios finally announced the Bundles of Bravery update that adds bundles to the game. Announced way back in 2020, it took Mojang Studios four years to add them to the game. This update also adds the Hardcore mode to the Bedrock Edition after more than a decade.
However, it was the future updates that excited most of the players. The developers said they will be adding the Pale Garden biome, along with a new hostile mob called the Creaking. There will be a new item called the Creaking Heart that powers the Creaking mob, and players have to destroy this heart to kill the hostile mob.
