An azure bluet is a flower that can be crafted into light gray dye and suspicious stew.

Obtaining

Breaking

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

An azure bluet 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.

Natural generation

Azure bluets generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in plains, sunflower plains, flower forest and meadow biomes as part of vegetation features. In Java Edition, they are also technically capable of growing in dripstone caves and deep dark biomes, though it is very unlikely due to lack of grass blocks in these biomes. In flower forests and meadows, azure bluets only generate as part of gradients.

Natural azure bluets are found in plains villages. Potted azure bluets can also be generated in woodland mansions.

Azure bluets can be found as part of abandoned camps in birch forests and meadows.

Post-generation

Java Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, meadow, dripstone caves, or deep dark biome, azure bluets have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area. In meadows and flower forests, azure bluets can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains, sunflower plains, dripstone caves, and the deep dark, azure bluets cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

Bedrock Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, or flower forest biome, azure bluets have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 7×5×7 area. In flower forests, azure bluets can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains and sunflower plains, azure bluets cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to an azure bluet in any biome, more azure bluets 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 azure bluets, 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 azure bluet when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell an azure bluet for 1 emerald.

Usage

Like other flowers, azure bluets 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.

Azure bluets can also be placed in flower pots.

Crafting ingredient

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

Suspicious stew

Suspicious stew that is created using an azure bluet imparts the Blindness effect for 11 seconds in Java Edition or 7 seconds in Bedrock Edition. It can be crafted using an azure bluet or produced by feeding an azure bluet to a brown mooshroom and then milking it with a bowl.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Red Mushroom or  Brown Mushroom or  Shelf Mushroom + Bowl + Azure Bluet

Bees

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

Breeding

Azure bluets 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 azure bluet have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Composting

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

Trivia

• Unlike both parts of its name suggests, the azure bluets are not blue in Minecraft. In real life, their pale-blue color looks light grey at a distance.
