Ink sacs cannot be crafted into black dye. Using a crafting table, it still shows that the recipe for black dye requires just one ink sac. However, even with ink sacs in the inventory, the crafting table does not allow the recipe to be crafted, as if materials were still missing. The same thing happens when crafting without a crafting table. Other dyes appear to be working correctly.
Edit: Sorry, this may be a duplicate of MCPE-103760, which was a bug report that included two issues. The first issue reported in MCPE-103760 appears to be resolved, but black dye is still not craftable, as reported here.

This issue is waiting for the original reporter to respond to the question about how the ink sacs were obtained.
Sorry for the delay. After I submitted this bug report, I realized there were a few other existing reports that specifically said it was black dye from wandering traders that could not be crafted into black dye, so I assumed this report would just end up getting marked as another duplicate and closed.
Yes, my problem was that black dye could not be crafted from ink sacs bought from wandering traders. Ink sacs obtained from squids in the ocean can be crafted into black dye. Also, as others have reported, ink sacs bought from wandering traders are not stackable with ink sacs obtained from squids, nor are they stackable with ink sacs purchased from wandering traders in separate transactions.
Another observation is that ink sacs purchased from wandering traders can only be used as a crafting ingredient for directly making black beds, black shulker boxes, and black firework stars. They cannot be used as an ingredient for other recipes requiring ink sacs or black ink, such as book-and-quills, black stained glass, or dark prismarine.
These issues still affect the current version of Bedrock.
Thanks for replying. Since the ink sacs were obtained from a wandering trader, this ticket will be resolved as a duplicate of MCPE-101087.
Were these ink sacs obtained by trading with a wandering trader?
