Obtaining

All Black Variants are obtained either using the default crafting recipes in HEXCraft (without using any dyes) or by using the Black Hexorium Dye in some way, either through crafting or in-world dyeing.

Craft Dyeing

Dyed decorative blocks may be crafted either by using a dye in a shapeless recipe with the blocks which should be dyed.

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Black Variants	A Decorative Block + Black Hexorium Dye

Additionally, decorative blocks which are made using Hexorium-Coated Stone or Tempered Hexorium Glass will keep the dyed color of the base block. For example:

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Framed Hexorium Block	Energized Hexorium (Any) + Iron Nugget + Hexorium-Coated Stone

In-World Dyeing

Decorative blocks already placed in the world may be dyed without breaking them. Simply use the dye on the block. Note that this completely swaps the block with the new one and may not be used on blocks which already form a multiblock structure.

Lore

Black Variants are simply all decorative Hexorium blocks either created without any changes done to them or dyed using Black Hexorium Dye in order to have a white surface color. Hexorium seems to assume a dark sheen when used in normal situations, so further dyeing is generally not necessary unless the blocks were previously in a different color. The process of how the dye works is described on the Hexorium Dyes page.
