    These are the only two things you'll need. Leather armour can be crafted with leather, which is obtained from cows. Dye can be made from flowers, bones, cactus, or by mining lapis lazuli, killing squids, gathering cocoa beans, and/or combining various other dyes.

    Press E or left click a crafting table [unless you changed your controls]. It can either be the one in your inventory or a crafting table. It does not matter.

  • 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?

    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.
