Minecraft Flowers

If you wander through your Minecraft world, you should pay attention to the side of the road. There, you will not only find different mobs and landscapes but also some pretty little flowers. While they don’t seem too useful at first, it turns out that keeping a few stacks of flowers in your village doesn’t hurt. In this article, you will learn that flowers actually benefit your Minecraft journey in more ways than one.

All Minecraft Flowers and Where You can Find Them

Minecraft flowers come in many different shapes, colors and sizes. The flowers currently available in the game are:

FlowerNatural occurence

azure flowerplains, meadows
blue orchidswamp

chorus floweron chorus plants in the End

sunflowersunflower plains sub biome
torchflowercan only be grown from sniffer torchflower seeds
tulips (red / orange / white / pink)flower forest
wildflowermeadows, birch forest, old-growth birch forest
wither rosecreated when a mob dies from the wither

Almost all of these flowers simply grow in their home biome as soon as the world is generated. A few, however, require special conditions or even custom mechanics to obtain them.

Tip: If you want even more different flowers and landscapes, the Biomes o’ Plenty mod adds a considerable number of both to your world.

Exceptions Among the Minecraft Flowers

Chorus flowers are blocks that spawn on chorus plants and can be grown into a fully-fledged chorus plant. However, Chorus Plants only grow in the End, which makes them extremely difficult to obtain. You also have to plant them on an End Stone, which can also only be found in the End dimension. 

Torchflowers are somewhat more difficult to obtain. The flower that was first seen in a snapshot can’t be harvested. It must first be found by a sniffer, who can give you torchflower seeds when digging in different soils. Once you have these, all you have to do is plant the seeds and wait for them to grow. After completing the third phase, you can finally harvest your torchflowers.

Wither roses are probably the most dangerous flowers you can get. This is because this pitch-black flower is only created when any mob is killed by the wither (or its wither effect). The roses retain the wither effect and can transfer it to your character – so be careful when farming automatically!

The eyeblossom remains closed during the day in the experimental pale garden (‘closed’) and only opens to a glowing variant (‘open’) at night. In addition to orange or gray dye, it provides suspicious stew with blindness or nausea and can poison bees – an atmospheric but not entirely harmless decoration.
When it comes to the spore blossom, Minecraft hides the flower deep in the lush caves. But since you’re going there to collect clay anyway, it’s not that hard to find. The spore blossom, Minecraft’s well-hidden secret, can only be used for decorative purposes and hangs from the ceiling of your house.

Harvesting Minecraft Flowers

Just like in real life, Minecraft flowers bloom a lot out in the wild – but finding the one you really want can be a hassle. Once you have found a flower, however, harvesting it is really easy. In fact, simply using your fist is already sufficient enough to break a flower, which gives you at least two copies of that flower as an item. You can use tools, but that actually just depletes the durability for no reason. In Bedrock Edition, however, the fortune enchantment can increase the number of flowers you can harvest. What flowers you can encounter depends on the biome you are currently in, although forests and hills generally have the most variety of Minecraft flowers. Yet, Minecraft flowers are a resilient bunch, growing even in the Nether and the End to some extent. Luckily, most flowers grow without any light level restrictions.

Tip: Some flowers can be found in a mansion and are already in a flower pot there.

Once you’re done collecting your flowers, you should put them to good use. If you want to display them or use the flowers themselves for anything other than a crafting or brewing ingredient, you should use flower pots. Minecraft puts a spotlight on potting, if you want to use the flowers to their fullest extent. For making a Minecraft flower pot, you first need to collect some clay balls, which is easy to do in lush caves. Once you have these clay balls, simply smelt the them to make some bricks:

1x Clay Ball + Any Fuel = 1x Brick

Then, once you have three bricks, you simply mold them into a flower pot:

3x Brick = 1x Flower Pot

Despite its name, a Minecraft flower pot can hold a high number of plants in general, not just flowers. Fungi, mushrooms and bamboo are just some of the other things you can plant in a pot, making it a lot more versatile than it appears at first.

Tip: Planting a warped fungus in a pot causes piglins to run away from it.

How to Use Minecraft Flowers

Despite their small stature, Minecraft flowers have a number of different uses.

Use Minecraft Flowers to Craft Dye

Firstly, Minecraft flowers can be used to make different dyes, with the flower changing the color you get at the end. For a detailed list of what flowers produce which dye, our article on dyes shows you everything you need to know. 

Propagate Minecraft Flowers and Collect Infinite XP

If you need certain types of flowers in large numbers or don’t feel like the hassle of searching for them, you can also farm them. Flower farms are also a popular way to collect absurd amounts of XP, as breaking flowers earns you a small amount of green orbs. Minecraft flowers can also increase the level of your composter.

If you apply bone meal to a grass block (not soil, sand or stone), grasses and flowers will randomly grow there – depending on the biome you’re in. For example, dandelions and poppies will grow in a plains biome, whereas almost all s

Seasoning Your Stew with MC Flowers

One of the most popular foods in Minecraft is the suspicious stew. By simply combining a red mushroom, a brown mushroom and a bowl, as well as a Minecraft flower, the stew has different effects. These effects are:

  • allium: reduces all fire damage you take to 0
  • azure bluet: massively reduces your sight
  • blue orchid & Dandelion: additional saturation
  • cornflower: increases jump height by 50%
  • daisy: heals 3.2 hearts over 8 seconds
  • dandelion: additional saturation in Suspicious Stew
  • eye blossom: open (night): blindness, closed (day): nausea
  • lily of the valley: inflicts 9.6 hearts of poison damage over 12 seconds
  • oxeye daisy: heals 3.2 hearts over 8 seconds
  • poppy & torchflower: gives night vision
  • torchflower: gives night vision
  • tulip: reduces your melee damage by 4 hearts
  • wither roses: applies the wither effect

While they don’t last very long, the possible positive effects do add a small bonus to each stew, so there really isn’t a reason not to add them. 

Animals and Minecraft Flowers

Just like in real life, animals love flowers, especially when they can eat them. If you want to feed your animals, putting out some flower seeds never hurts. Also, flowers are a cornerstone when it comes to creating your own beehive. A healthy buzzing around your flower fields is a must both for the health of your flowers and the size of your hive. 

Conclusion: Minecraft Flowers

As you can see, Minecraft flowers do not only look pretty, they also have many uses. Be it dyeing, feeding your animals or farming XP, Mineraft flowers are a must have for all new players. If you also want to become a Minecraft botanist, a Minecraft server from G-Portal allows you to strive through the Minecraft world together with your friends. So don’t hesitate and collect a nice bouquet of flowers today!
