Question

After you dye the armor, there is still a part that is tan (for example, the knee caps on the leggings, the toes on the boots). Is there a way to dye that, too?

Community Answer

No, unfortunately, you cannot dye those parts.

Question

How do I dye leather armor in creative mode?

Community Answer

Get your armor from your inventory, then get a crafting table. Put your armor and any color dye in any two slots. Then, take it out and wear it.

The more you keep dying the same piece of armor with different dyes, the more exotic it will be!
