Mixing Dyes

Now that green dye isn't specific to cacti, could it please be craftable by combining blue and yellow dye?

    Combining yellow and blue dye in the crafting table get 2 green dyes and breeding blue and yellow sheep make green baby sheep.
    If anyone read this, Try to mix 2 yellow+blue colored paint together. I wish this will be added in the next update of Minecraft so players don't need to spend their time finding desert biome for cacti to smelt it into green dye.

    This would make artistic builds so much easier, since you wouldn't have to travel all the way to a desert to find cacti just for green dye. Full support, and great idea!

    It would be really nice if more dyes were mixable. 
    It would also teach kids(or adults) basic color theory.

    Yes, please! I completely support this. I was combining dyes and found it surprising that blue and yellow don't combine to make green because that's one of the first color combinations I would check for. Finding a desert has been even harder due to the huge biomes in 1.19 so we would really benefit from a new way to obtain/make green dye. And yes, this would be beneficial to teach people color theory. I would also really appreciate a new shade of green between the dark olive green we get from cactuses and light lime green (which we get by adding white dye to olive green). It definitely would make creative builds in survival easier.

    This is even more relevant with the new wool feature in Trails and Tales. It works for orange and purple, why not green? Please add this.

    I'm glad it wasn't just me, if this was fixed it actually be the best thing for it. At least to add an alternative option to make green other than hunting for cacti all the time.

    This is what I was going to write, not being able to mix to green is surprising, with so many dyes able to be created by mixing other color dyes. and as a new user, getting green dye from cacti is far from obvious, I had to find out by looking it up outside the game.

    Abso-ABSOLUTELY!!! It takes away from the joy of the game when you can't FIND (leading to can't CRAFT) what you need. Mojang please let dyes be easier to access, please.

    I don't know why this hasn't been added yet. Blue+yellow=green might have been the first of these color combinations that I learned in school.
