Poppy

Poppies, those iconic crimson blooms, have replaced the original "rose" and cyan flowers in updated versions. Existing flowers in your Minecraft world were automatically converted. They naturally appear in various biomes and can even be dropped by Iron Golems as gifts for village children. Their primary use is crafting red dye, essential for recoloring banners, beds, wool, sheep, and tamed wolf collars.

Dandelion

With their cheerful yellow blossoms, dandelions brighten most biomes (excluding marshes and ice plains). Common in flower forests, they're the main source of yellow dye. While dandelions yield one dye unit, sunflowers produce double the amount. Add a sunny touch to your banners, wool, and other creations!

Allium

Alliums, with their striking purple hues, are found naturally in flower forests. They're key to crafting magenta dye, perfect for recoloring mobs and creating vibrant magenta stained glass, terracotta, and wool. These elegant blooms add a touch of sophistication to any build.

Rose Bush

Rose bushes, tall and red, grace various wooded biomes. Like lilacs and sunflowers, they're one of Minecraft's taller flowers, standing two blocks high. Harvesting them yields red dye, useful for dyeing wool, banners, beds, leather armor, and more. Unlike the dangerous wither rose, the rose bush is purely decorative and practical.

Wither Rose

The wither rose is a rare and dangerous flower. It doesn't grow naturally; instead, it's generated when a mob is killed by the Wither or occasionally found in the Nether. Touching it inflicts the Wither effect, draining health. Milk can counteract this effect. These roses are used to create black dye, for leather armor, terracotta, banners, beds, and wool, and are also used in firework stars and black concrete powder.

Peony Bush

Peony bushes, tall and pink, thrive in woodland ecosystems. These beautiful blooms can be used to create pink dye (or by combining red and white dye). Bone meal helps propagate them, ensuring a plentiful supply. Pink dye is useful for wool, stained glass, terracotta, and wolf collars. Adding bone meal to grass in certain biomes can also yield these pink flowers.

Lily of the Valley

The Lily of the Valley, a delicate bell-shaped flower, grows in forests and flower forests. It yields white dye, used for wool, banners, beds, terracotta, and wolf collars. White dye is also a base for creating other dyes like gray, light gray, light blue, lime, magenta, and pink. These flowers frequently sprout on grass blocks in suitable biomes.

Tulip

Tulips, found in plains and flower forests, come in red, orange, white, and pink varieties. Their color determines the dye they yield (red, pink, orange, or light gray), offering diverse customization options.

Azure Bluet

The azure bluet, a small white and yellow flower, thrives in grasslands, sunflower plains, and flower forests. It produces light gray dye, also obtainable by combining bone meal and gray dye.

Blue Orchid

The blue orchid, a rare and vibrant flower found in swamps and taiga biomes, is used to make light blue dye.

Cornflower

Cornflowers, blue flowers found in plains and flower forests, are used to create blue dye for wool, glass, and terracotta.

Torchflower

The torchflower yields orange dye. It doesn't naturally generate and can't be spread with bone meal in Bedrock Edition. In Java Edition, endermen can carry and drop it.

Lilac

Lilacs, tall and light purple, are found in various forest biomes. They are used to make magenta dye.

Oxeye Daisy

The oxeye daisy, a white flower with a yellow center, is found in plains biomes. It creates light gray dye, useful for wool, leather armor, and glass. It can also be used decoratively in banners.

Sunflower

Sunflowers, tall and facing east, are found in sunflower plains biomes. They're used to make yellow dye. Their tall stature makes them useful for navigation.
