No, Mr. Coal, I Expect You To Dye!

<p><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">Do you like black, Mr. Coal? I like black. Most of my clothes are black, my bed clothes are black, my piano is black, the windows to my soul are black, Mr. Coal. I also have this neat little spot of black hair on the back of my head; but that's neither here nor there. Well, it is </span><strong><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">there</span></strong><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">, on the back of my head, Mr. Coal, but I mean to say that it's not important.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">And, so, Mr. Coal, absolutely </span><strong><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">despondent</span></strong><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;"> am I to see what it costs to make black dye; <strong>literal cost</strong>! MONEY, Mr. Coal! Rusty gears to make gray dye, and then double it to make black! Or maybe wander about and perhaps find some scrap metal with which to do the same.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">Purple dye, Mr. Coal? Why, just gather some juicy berries! Green dye? Do some yard work! Blue dye? Get yourself some pretty flowers, Mr. Coal. Red Dye? MERCURY POISONING, MR. COAL! (I do quite enjoy that one, if I'm honest.)</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">But, <strong>black</strong> dye, Mr. Coal? Well, you better risk your life and pay the dye man if you want to be enrobed in the majesty of darkness, Mr. Coal!</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">Now, you see, Mr. Coal, I have a wonderful new way of making black dye, and you, Mr. Coal, <strong>you</strong> are going to help me.</span></em></p> <p><em><span style="font-family: book antiqua, palatino, serif;">Do I expect you to give me <strong>money</strong>, Mr. Coal?! Rusty gears for a favor? HA! No, no, no, no, no.

Probably just use a hammer in the grid if I can't figure out how to add recipes to the quern.</span></strong> I did it! I figured it out! Lots of tinkering, poking, prodding, and ripping out the guts of the game, but I got there in the end! The game will be fine. The staples will come out naturally or be absorbed by the body. Any personality changes are completely normal. :D</li> <li><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">If I'm going the hammer route, then may as well do the same for charcoal.</span></strong> No need!</li> <li><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Add the extant charcoal powder item to the barrel recipe.</span></strong> Added in 1.0.1!</li> <li><strong><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Make gray dye with black dye + powdered borax.</span></strong> Added in 1.0.2!</li> <li><strong>Maybe create a config for the amount of powdered borax for gray dye.</strong> Originally I had it at 1:5 to keep it in line with the rest of the mod's 1:5 ratio, but that artificially inflates the properties of borax powder beyond vanilla. All I want to do with this mod is add an irl ancient recipe for black dye. Making borax powder 1:5 for gray dye, I feel, is adding a cheat to the game. So, if borax powder is 1 powder:2L water for white dye, then it should also be 1powder:2L black dye for gray dye. However, if enough people feel it should fall in line with the rest of the mod, then I'll make a config to that end.</li> <li><strong>Add&nbsp;<em>all the languages.</em></strong> I have so far made 11 language files for this mod (Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, English, American Spanish, Spanish Spanish, French, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian); though, all were translated using translation software. If it's incorrect, please let me know! If you want to make a language file, be aware that "Dye" in "Dye, Coal, Dye" (the creative tab name for this mod) is the verb form of "Dye" (as in "dye your hair red"; <em><strong>not</strong></em> as in "red hair dye").</li> <li><strong>Sit and brood in my all-black atti
