*Important Suggestion*
“I would suggest you go with the method of crafting black dye instead of trading, that too with the squid ink sac as using the wither rose is a very foolish idea since first you need to spawn the Wither itself and kill it and as you already know how destructive and difficult that mob is, and then the wither rose is such a special flower which you get by the sacrifice of any of your mobs while fighting the Wither, and with its own abilities you won’t want it to spend it by just using it to make black dye. So much hassle for a black dye? On the other hand, the ink sack can be obtained by the peaceful marine mob (Squid) or sometimes you can even just find it at the bed of the river or the seashore.”
So, miners! Go and make your black dye now and play with your colors.
