Flower

Obtaining

See also: Flower farming Flowers are useful for decoration, dyes, or breeding rabbits. To grow flowers, you can apply bone meal on a grass block. The block must either have no block above it (obstructing sun/moonlight), or be lit

Flowers can be instantly broken with any item (or no item). Flowers will also be broken if water runs over its location, or if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location.

  • Also, it is possible to find flowers and seeds dropped as an item on the ground naturally, due to failure to generate on an acceptable block.
• Like other non-solid transparent blocks, flowers can break falling objects, like sand.
• Jeb noted that peonies were the flowers that were used for his wedding.
• Neither roses nor rose bushes apply damage when walked through, despite roses having thorns.
• Flowers generated from bone meal in a flower forest biome depend only on the horizontal position; the world seed has no effect. The flowers generated with the chunk do depend on the world seed.
  • The flowers generate along a gradient: dandelion, poppy, allium, azure bluet, red tulip, orange tulip, white tulip, pink tulip, oxeye daisy.
• Allium is a genus composed of bulb vegetables such as onions

Overview

Flowers can be used for decoration, but they are also a necessary ingredient in crafting certain Dyes. The dyes from some flowers can be used to modify the color of wool, Sheep, Terracotta, or glass. These modified blocks are great for decoration . While they can be planted on grass and dirt, flowers cannot be cultivated like Trees, sugar cane, or other crops, but can occasionally spawn when bonemeal is used to generate patches of tall grass. They appear to spawn randomly in clusters on grass blocks. There are several different species of flowers, some of which are outlined in the sections below. In addition, flowers of certain types can come in a variety of different colors.

Behavior

To survive, flowers must be planted on a grass or dirt block that either does not have a block any altitude above it to obstruct sun/moonlight, or is lit with at least a light level of 8. If neither of these conditions exist, the flower will quickly pop out. This attribute allows flowers to be used in the creation of light-sensitive mechanisms.

Even in a biome covered with snow, flowers will generate naturally on dirt blocks with grass, despite the adjoining dirt blocks being covered with snow.

There are several types of two-block tall flowers (i.e. Sunflower). Unlike other flowers, these are not regenerated with bonemeal. They can, however, be "grown" by using bonemeal on the flower itself. This will create a replica of the flower for use without worrying about running out.

Note: As of Update 1.7.2, Roses have been removed. All Roses will transform into Poppiesℂ₂⃂₠when the update is applied.
