### A Huge Update for Java Edition 26.3!
- **Custom Dye Colors:** y'know all those custom dye combinations that have been in Vanilla+ forever? Like Cyan Dye + Lime Dye or Red Dye + Magenta Dye? Well, those can now be used to create ACTUAL DYE ITEMS! There are now 9 different Custom Dye Items, crafted the same way that the original color combinations were crafted before. This means you can actually see their "official" color names without checking the /trigger command as well.
- **Rubies:** a brand new material for the game based on the original version of the Emerald! It can only be found in generated structures (see below), and can be used to craft an entire new set of Gear. Ruby Gear is on the same level of Diamond Gear stats-wise, except for the fact that it has slightly higher durability than Diamond.
- **Dyeable Items:** because of the changes to Custom Dyes, that means that there are new additions to all the Custom Dyeable Items! Firstly, the Bundle, Beanie, Elytra, and Writable Book all have a new Ruby variant. Then, for the Bundle and Writable Book, their "Classic" variants have been renamed to "Sepia" to match the new Dye Color. The Elytra and Beanie now also have a Sepia color as well. Finally, there's two more important changes. First, all of these items can be dyed **_without losing any extra data they may have!_** To be more specific, you can dye bundles with items in them, Elytras with enchantments, and Writable Books without fear of losing their contents! This also means that Written Books can be dyed as well!
- **Loot Tables:** Rubies and / or Ruby Nuggets can now be found in various places: Shipwreck Treasure chests, Buried Treasure, Underwater Ruins, and Ancient Cities.
- **Misc. Changes:** Yes, I'm aware that in the Crafting Table recipe book you'll be seeing Spawn Eggs. Yes, I hate it too. But it's the only way to add stuff like Ruby Gear and new Dye Colors, so it is what it is. Additionally, yes, I have removed all Redstone Gear. I've decided that it doesn't really fit within the game in general, especially because it's literally made of dust, and I didn't want to make it craftable from Redstone Blocks, because that would be an immense amount of Redstone necessary to make gear that doesn't really have a place in Minecraft to begin with. All /function and /trigger commands have also been updated to include Ruby Gear and Dye Colors.
