Making Green Dye from Malachite

[Yarp 3]

Would it be possible to put a piece of malachite ore into crafting grid to get eight pieces of green dye (and two pieces from small malachite)?

This will be similar to current mechanics used to convert lazurite into blue dye. Otherwise the green dye (and it's derivates) is unavailable...

Or we could use hammer to break it into colouring powder (also the lazurite) – same mechanics as with crushing lime sediment rocks to make flux.

This depends on if malachite can be used as dye irl. What is a good idea is to make all the different rocks to come in a range of colours. Not all the colours but just a variation like for example chert should have redder layers and orangeries layers and the color sub division should be biome specific. So that you only collect different sub divisions but not the 20 different sub layers. This would mean you could have different vibrant quartzite colours and that would give you colourful sand for colourful glass si that you can sell glass elf statues to the elven caravans that then declare a war because you sold them a wooden bin on accident.

malachite dyes arent actually made with malachite ore. malachite green does not contain copper

Yes, I know that but I have not talked about malachite green but the malachite itself. See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite:

“Malachite was used as a mineral pigment in green paints from antiquity until about 1800.”

However, with the new way to obtain wool in b76 I'm not sure whether it will still be possible to make decorative coloured wool blocks. But at least it will make my vanilla game black-green coloured leather armor available again.

I'm not sure that wool block be avaiable in b76,but we may be able to colour cloth sheets
