(Java Parity) Remove the ability to still use old dyes

In Bedrock Edition, bone meal, cocoa beans, lapis lazuli, and ink sacs can still be used as dyes. This doesn't make any sense because the 4 new dyes added in Village & Pillage (black, brown, blue and white) are meant to replace the old dyes. Being able to use the old dyes breaks parity with Java and makes the new dyes useless. The ability to use the old dyes need to be removed.

    I personally think this would be taking a step backwards, making Lapis, Bone Meal, and Inc Sacs unusable just goes on to confuse returning players who remember those as the old Blue, White, and Black dyes.

    Adding the extra step of turning them into dye only hurts the process, and makes the game less enjoyable.

    This is a case where Java should copy Bedrock, not the other way around.

    apple8404 That would be like saying that you should be able to use cactus or flowers as dye in a crafting recipe. The new dyes were long-overdue, and this should be added to match java.
