DYLA (Dyeing Your Life Away)
This mod allows players to create 41 different styles of tie-dyed blocks, by equipping a medium or small rubber band and right-clicking on Wool or Terracotta to tie/wrap the block before dyeing it in a new profession block, the Dyeing Station.

Crafting Recipe Book organization
All Tie-Dyed blocks are organized by the name of the Tie-Dye, with each set of craftable blocks under subcategory.
Creating Tie-Dyes and Furnace Recipe Book organization
All Tie-Dyes can be created by smelting natural blocks, but also Minecraft Dyes, candles, and more! Tie-Dyes are not meant to be Rare or Uncommon. The Furnace Recipe Book has all the Tie-Dyes under one category, Tie-Dyes.
Custom Dyeing Stations
The bottom row are the 4 custom Dyeing Station designs, and the top row are the Left and Right sides, green for left, red for right. Each will open the respective GUI that matches.
Tie-Dye Customized Crafting window.
These are the 4 customized GUIs that match the corresponding custom Dyeing Stations. The "plain" Dyeing Station is for Beginners, but you'll be "trading" it in for a custom Dyeing Station in no time!
Tie-Dyeing in 3 correct steps, and one incorrect step!
Stick to the recipes, folks! We can't have you all out there running around tie-dyeing just any blocks...yet. This process is way easier than real life, and a lot less time-consuming, trust me. 3 Tie-Dyes, up to 64 Tied Blocks, 1 bucket of water.
Brewing Tree Sap to make Rubberbands.
Natural Rubber comes from the Amazonian Rubber Tree, Hevea brasiliensis, as sap, which is then dried and processed with very few external additives. We're doing it in similar fashion, by Brewing Logs from any Tree, mixed with Potion of Swiftness.
Crafting Medium and Small Rubberbands.
IRL Tie-Dye is messy, and rubberbands are a terrible waste, but thankfully Minecraft makes it so used-up tools just disappear. Oh, btw each Rubberband has 16 uses, and each Tie-Block can have up to 19 Rubberbands.
Complimentary mods: SYLA, DYLA, PYLA
If you're a fan of the YLA -series, and we know you are, you'll be tickled purple to know that SYLA, DYLA, and PYLA all work side-by-side....by-side! I'm not sure what decorative style this would be though, but feel free to go wild!
Advancements
Tie-dyeing is a skill, but mostly it is about being creative. Some things are most complex than others though.

Everyone starts somewhere...this is where players start their Tie-Dye journey.
