Dye is actually made from fish, so we’re going to cover the different types of fish that give each color dye that you’ll want for all your crafting needs. Here’s everything you need to know.
How To Make Dye
Youmake dye by squeezing fish, though only certain fish can be squeezed to do this. Fish can be caught from places likeThe Dockand theDark Forest, and once in your inventory, you just need toselect them and choose ‘Squeeze’.
Squeezing fish will still leave them in your inventory, though they get a hand symbol beside them and their value is reduced to 1 gold.

Despite squeezing reducing the fish’s value,we recommend you turn any fish you catch into dyeif you’re able to as you will needso many dyesto craft various items. You will make more gold from whatever you craft using the dye than the base gold earned from the fish.
