An allium is a flower that can be crafted into magenta dye and suspicious stew.

Obtaining

Breaking

An allium can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

An allium also breaks if water or lava runs over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

Block	Allium
Hardness	0
Breaking time (secs)
Default	10.05 (JE) 0.05 (BE)

Natural generation

Alliums generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in flower forest and meadow biomes as part of gradients.

Potted alliums can also be found in woodland mansions.

Alliums can also generate as part of abandoned camps in meadows.

Post-generation

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a flower forest, and a meadow in Java Edition, alliums have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area in Java Edition, or a 7×5×7 area in Bedrock Edition. Whether alliums can generate depends on the flower gradients.

In Bedrock Edition, when bone meal is applied to an allium in any biome, more alliums appear on top of nearby grass blocks. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

Mob loot

In Java Edition, endermen can pick up alliums, like any other one-block-tall flower, and drop it if killed while holding it.

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 25% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 allium when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Generated loot

Eight alliums are found inside the chest in the "allium room" in woodland mansions.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell an allium for 1 emerald.

Usage

Like other flowers, alliums can be used as decoration and planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots.

Alliums can also be placed in flower pots.

Crafting ingredient

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Notes
Magenta Dye	Allium
Suspicious Stew	Red Mushroom or  Brown Mushroom or  Shelf Mushroom + Bowl + Allium		Any combination of brown, red, or shelf mushrooms can be used.

Suspicious stew

Suspicious stew that is created using an allium imparts the Fire Resistance effect for 3 seconds. It can be crafted using an allium or produced by feeding an allium to a brown mooshroom and then milking it with a bowl.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Red Mushroom or  Brown Mushroom or  Shelf Mushroom + Bowl + Allium

Bees

Bees will attempt to collect nectar from alliums, increasing the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1.

Breeding

Alliums can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of an allium have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Composting

Placing an allium into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of alliums yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.
