In order to dye leather armor in Minecraft, you will first need to collect a few things

Leather armor
Like other armor types, players can craft four different armor pieces using leather – helmet, chest plate, leggings, and boots. The best way to get leather armor is by crafting them using pieces of leather. You can get leather easily by killing cows, mooshrooms, horses, mules, donkeys, llamas, and even hoglins.
Dye
In Minecraft, you can find dyes in various places, such as chests in abandoned mineshafts or by trading with wandering traders. However, instead of trying to find dyes in loot chests, you should just craft them. You can craft dyes using various flowers found in Minecraft.
When it comes to choosing a dye, you can use any color you like. Just keep in mind that different dyes will produce different colors on leather. For example, using white dye on leather armor will result in a lighter shade of brown.
Crafting table
Every Minecraft player has a crafting table always by their side. Even if they don’t, they can always craft one using four wooden planks of any type. Java Edition players need a crafting table to dye leather armor.
Cauldron
Dyeing leather armor is a little bit complicated for Bedrock Edition players. If you are on Bedrock Edition, a cauldron is a must for dyeing leather armor. You can craft a cauldron by making a U-shape out of seven iron ingots on a crafting table.
