# Sandstone Dyeing 🔴

#### 🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

* **Red Sandstone** naturally generates in **badlands (mesa) biomes**.
* There is **no recipe** to convert **sandstone into red sandstone**, even though the blocks are nearly identical in function and structure.

With this datapack:

* You can **dye standard sandstone into red sandstone** using **red dye**.
* The recipe is **shapeless**, meaning items can be placed anywhere in the crafting grid.

**🧱 Shapeless Recipe:**

```
1 Sandstone + 1 Red Dye → 1 Red Sandstone
```

* Works with **all forms of sandstone**, including:
  * Sandstone
  * Cut Sandstone
  * Smooth Sandstone

(Note: only **base blocks** are dyeable — stairs, slabs, and variants still need to be crafted from red sandstone separately.)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.dcxwc.com/minecraft-content/crafting-tweaks/sandstone-dyeing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
