Flowers are plants that occur in a variety of shapes and colors. Many of them can be crafted into various types of dye and/or suspicious stew, and some have unique properties. Bees collect nectar from most flower types, which they use to fill their home nests and hives with honey. Additionally, most flower types can be used to breed bees.

Variants

Small flowers

Small flowers are flowers that are 1 block tall.

• Allium
• Azure Bluet
• Blue Orchid
• Cornflower
• Dandelion
• Closed Eyeblossom
• Open Eyeblossom
• Golden Dandelion
• Lily of the Valley
• Oxeye Daisy
• Poppy
• Torchflower

Tall flowers

This article interchangeably uses the adjectives double and tall to describe these flowers, which are two blocks high:

• Lilac
• Peony
• Pitcher Plant
• Rose Bush
• Sunflower

Additional flowers

in Java Edition the following blocks are also part of the #flowers block tag. These blocks are substantially different from small and tall flowers. As a result, only some of the information presented in this overview page applies to them, such as their usage in bee-related features.

• Cherry Leaves
• Chorus Flower
• Flowering Azalea
• Flowering Azalea Leaves
• Mangrove Propagule
• Pink Petals
• Spore Blossom
• Wildflowers
• Cactus Flower

Obtaining

Breaking

A flower can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself. A flower also breaks if water runs over its location, or if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location.

Natural generation

Most flowers generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks as part of vegetation features in most biomes. Flowers can generate even if the biome is covered with snow. The tables in § Flower biomes show the types of small flowers that can naturally spawn in each biome when a new chunk is generated, as well as the flowers that can spawn when bone meal is used on grass blocks.

Sunflowers generate in sunflower plains; lilacs, rose bushes, and peonies can be found in forests, flower forests, birch forests, old growth birch forests, and dark forests.

Wither roses, torchflowers, and pitcher plants, as well as golden dandelions, do not generate naturally at all.

Natural dandelions are found in plains and savanna villages; poppies in plains, savanna, taiga, and snowy plains‌^{[BE only]} villages; and oxeye daisies, cornflowers, and azure bluets in plains villages. Potted dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies can be found in woodland mansions.

Flowers (and grass) can be found on dirt paths at villages, where the player cannot place them.

Flower biomes

Flowers marked "Natural generation only" can only spawn when the chunk is initially generated, not when using bone meal; flowers marked "Bone meal only" cannot generate naturally, but can be created by players using bone meal on a grass block in that biome (§ Post-generation for more details).

Dandelions and poppies in jungles, bamboo jungles, sparse jungles, savannas, and savanna plateaus (but not windswept savanna) are twice as common as in other biomes.

Some biomes - such as deserts - are technically enabled to generate vegetation features containing flowers, but do not generate dirt or grass blocks on the surface in regular worlds. This means that flowers are normally not generated in these biomes in regular worlds. Flowers can still be grown in these biomes by using bone meal on grass blocks, and they can generate naturally if a dirt or grass block surface is provided in custom superflats or custom worlds. In some rare cases, it is possible for flowers to generate at the intersection of these biomes with another, when an air block from one biome is generated above a block from another biome that can support the flower.

Flower gradients

In some biomes, the placement of flowers is determined by gradients. These are not affected by the world seed. In Java Edition, gradients are three dimensional and change on the Y level, while in Bedrock Edition they are consistent at every height.

Flower forests

In a flower forest, any given coordinate can spawn only one type of flower, resulting in a gradient (pictured below). The gradient runs as follows:

• Dandelion
• Poppy
• Allium
• Azure bluet
• Red tulip
• Orange tulip
• White tulip
• Pink tulip
• Oxeye daisy
• Cornflower
• Lily of the valley

In Bedrock Edition, additional randomness is applied during terrain generation, meaning that some flowers might not perfectly align to the gradient.

Peonies, lilacs, and rose bushes generate independently from the gradient. In Java Edition, additional patches of lily of the valley are generated by a separate flower feature that does not follow the gradient and that cannot be regrown using bone meal.

  An example of how elevation affects the flower forest gradient in Java Edition

Meadows

In meadows, up to 3 gradients intersect and overlap to create complex patterns. Like in flower forests, any given coordinate can spawn only one type of flower. In Java Edition, the individual gradients run as follows:

• Tall grass
• Allium
• Poppy
• Azure bluet
• Dandelion
• Cornflower
• Oxeye daisy
• Short grass

Using bone meal in areas of the gradient where only tall grass or short grass generates does not create any flower.

In Bedrock Edition, the gradients only affect naturally generated vegetation; bone meal completely ignores the gradients and only generates dandelions. The individual gradients run as follows:

• Allium
• Poppy
• Cornflower
• Oxeye daisy
• Azure bluet
• Dandelion
• Short grass
• Nothing

• 
  Meadow flower gradient

Plains

Plains and sunflower plains use a simpler gradient that allows tulips to generate only in rare areas where no other kinds of flower can spawn. Flower types are otherwise selected randomly: dandelions, poppies, azure bluets, oxeye daisies, and cornflowers outside the tulip areas (with dandelions being more common than the others), and any type of tulip inside the tulip areas. Sunflowers in sunflower plains generate independently from the gradient.

In Java Edition, this pattern is also applied to dripstone caves and the deep dark, although flowers do not naturally generate there.

• 
  Tulips grown using bone meal in a dripstone cave in Java Edition
•

Post-generation

When bone meal is applied to a grass block, flowers have a chance of generating instead of short grass 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. In most biomes, the generated flower is picked randomly among all possible choices depending on the biome (see § Flower biomes for a chart of flowers that can be grown in each biome). In a few biomes, however, a gradient is applied and the generated flower additionally depends on the X/Y/Z coordinates.

Double flowers, wither roses, and torchflowers cannot be obtained this way.

In Bedrock Edition, when bone meal is applied to a small flower (except wither rose, torchflower and golden dandelion), more flowers appear on adjacent grass blocks without generating any short grass. With the exception of dandelions and poppies, the flowers that form around are the same type as the original flower. In the case of dandelions, poppies occasionally appear, and vice versa for poppies. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

Applying bone meal to a double flower (except pitcher plants) causes the flower to drop a copy of itself. This is the only renewable way to obtain double flowers.

Mob loot

Endermen can pick up any small flower; the flower is dropped if the enderman is killed while holding it.

Iron golems drop 0–2 poppies on death.

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

Trading

Wandering traders may sell 1 of most small flowers for a single emerald. They cannot sell wither roses, torchflowers, closed eyeblossoms, or any tall flowers.

Usage

All of the blocks that flowers can be placed on. Dandelions represent small flowers, rose bushes represent large flowers, and wither roses represent additional blocks they can be placed on.

Most kinds of flowers can be planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, pale moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots. Wither roses can also be planted on netherrack or soul sand. In Java Edition, wither roses can also be planted on soul soil. One-block-tall flowers can be planted in a flower pot.

Most flowers can be crafted into dyes, and all small flowers can be used to craft suspicious stew.

Because many flowers are non-solid transparent blocks, they can be used (like torches) to break blocks that fall on them, such as sand.

Suspicious stew

All small flowers can be used to create suspicious stew. When a flower is used on a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshroom produces a suspicious stew related to that flower the next time it is milked with a bowl. The mooshroom returns to producing regular mushroom stew until fed another flower. Eating one bowl of suspicious stew restores 6 () hunger and 7.2 hunger saturation, as well as producing a brief status effect.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Red Mushroom or  Brown Mushroom or  Shelf Mushroom + Bowl + Any Small Flower

Using different flowers results in different effects. All are short-lived, but some have lasting effects: Regeneration restores 2HP health, Poison inflicts up to 8HP damage, and Wither inflicts up to 3HP damage. The Saturation effect makes those stews a superfood: they restore up to 6 hunger and 12 saturation points on top of their food value, for a total of 12 ( × 6) and over 19 points of saturation.

Lily of the Valley	Poison	11s	Negative
Oxeye Daisy	Regeneration	7s	Positive
Poppy Torchflower	Night Vision	5s	Positive
Tulips	Weakness	7s	Negative
Wither Rose	Wither	7s	Negative

Bees

Bees engage in a pollinating behavior with flowers. Bees will collect nectar from nearby flowers and bring it back to their hive, increasing the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1. Certain plants will have their growth advanced if a bee carrying nectar flies overhead, "pollenating" the plant. Bees attempt to collect nectar from wither roses, although they get damaged in the process if the difficulty is higher than Peaceful. Bees also get inflicted with Poison when they touch an open eyeblossom and the difficulty is higher than Peaceful. Bees ignore and do not interact with golden dandelions and closed eyeblossoms. In Bedrock Edition, bees ignore snowlogged flowers.

Breeding

Dandelions can be used to lead, breed, and grow rabbits.

Most flowers can be used to lead, breed, and grow bees. Wither roses and open eyeblossoms can be used to lead bees, but feeding a bee with them inflicts the bee with Wither or Poison, respectively. Golden dandelions and closed eyeblossoms cannot lead, breed, or grow bees at all.

Bee nests

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

Composting

Placing any flower (except for the torchflower or a pitcher plant) into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of flowers yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.

Placing a torchflower or a pitcher plant into a composter has a 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Golden dandelions cannot be composted.
