🌋 Why Does Crimson Fungus Smelt Into Pink Dye?

You might expect Crimson Fungus to smelt into Red Dye, but I intentionally made it produce Pink Dye instead. Since Red Mushrooms already provide a way to obtain Red Dye, I didn’t want two different smelting recipes that both gave the same result. Using Pink Dye gives Crimson Fungus its own unique purpose while keeping all four recipes useful.

📦 Perfect For
Vanilla+ modpacks
Survival worlds
Players who miss classic Minecraft recipes
Anyone looking for more renewable dye options
