Minecraft Flower: Full List, Dyes, Biomes and Stew Effects

Minecraft flowers do three jobs. They supply twelve of the game’s sixteen dyes, they set the status effect inside suspicious stew, and they attract bees for honey production.

Current versions include sixteen one-block flowers, five two-block flowers and several flowering blocks that behave differently from either group. Where a flower grows decides how fast you can collect it.

Every small flower in Minecraft and its dye

Small flowers occupy a single block and can be duplicated with bone meal in the biome where they generate. All sixteen can go in a flower pot and all can be fed to a brown mooshroom for stew.

Flower	Dye	Where it generates
Dandelion	Yellow	Plains, meadows, most grassy biomes
Poppy	Red	Plains, forests, meadows, villages
Blue Orchid	Light blue	Swamp
Allium	Magenta	Flower forest, meadow, woodland mansion pots
Azure Bluet	Light gray	Plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, meadow
Red Tulip	Red	Plains, flower forest
Orange Tulip	Orange	Plains, sunflower plains, flower forest
White Tulip	Light gray	Plains, flower forest
Pink Tulip	Pink	Plains, flower forest
Oxeye Daisy	Light gray	Plains, sunflower plains, flower forest
Cornflower	Blue	Plains, flower forest, meadow
Lily of the Valley	White	Flower forest
Wither Rose	Black	Dropped by mobs killed by the Wither
Torchflower	Orange	Grown from seeds dug up by a sniffer
Open Eyeblossom	Orange	Pale garden
Closed Eyeblossom	Gray	Pale garden

The eyeblossom opens and closes on a cycle

Eyeblossoms are the only Minecraft flowers with two states. The flower opens at night and closes during the day, and each state crafts a different dye.

They grow only in the pale garden, a sub-biome of the dark forest. Breaking one while open and pot-planting it indoors keeps the cycle running.

Tall flowers in Minecraft and double dye output

Two-block flowers return two dye per craft instead of one. They cannot be placed in flower pots and cannot be used for suspicious stew.

Flower	Dye	Where it generates
Sunflower	Yellow x2	Sunflower plains only
Lilac	Magenta x2	Forest, flower forest, birch forest, dark forest
Rose Bush	Red x2	Forest, flower forest, birch forest
Peony	Pink x2	Forest, flower forest, birch forest, dark forest
Pitcher Plant	Cyan x2	Grown from pitcher pods dug up by a sniffer

Sunflowers always face east, which makes them a reliable compass in a world without a map. The orientation is fixed in the block state and does not change when replanted.

Flowering blocks that are not standard Minecraft flowers

Several blocks produce dye or attract bees without behaving like a normal flower. They sit on different surfaces and follow their own placement rules.

Block	Dye	Where it generates
Pink Petals	Pink	Cherry grove, up to four petals per block
Wildflowers	Yellow	Forest and birch forest
Cactus Flower	Pink	On tall cacti in desert and badlands
Chorus Flower	None	End islands, grows chorus plants
Spore Blossom	None	Lush caves ceilings
Flowering Azalea	None	Above lush caves, grows azalea trees

Which Minecraft flowers give which dye colour

Twelve of the sixteen dye colours come directly from flowers. The four without a flower source are lime, purple, brown and green.

Pink has the widest set of sources at four. Black, gray, white, blue, light blue and cyan each come from a single flower, which makes those the ones worth farming deliberately.

Green comes from smelting cactus and brown from cocoa beans. Lime and purple are mixes, made from white plus green and red plus blue.

Suspicious stew effects from Minecraft flowers

Suspicious stew takes a bowl, a red mushroom, a brown mushroom and one small flower. The flower decides the effect, and all effects are level one.

Flower	Effect	Duration (Java)
Allium	Fire Resistance	3s
Azure Bluet, Open Eyeblossom	Blindness	11s
Blue Orchid, Dandelion	Saturation	0.35s
Closed Eyeblossom	Nausea	7s
Cornflower	Jump Boost	5s
Lily of the Valley	Poison	11s
Oxeye Daisy	Regeneration	7s
Poppy, Torchflower	Night Vision	5s
Tulips (all four)	Weakness	7s
Wither Rose	Wither	7s

Bedrock durations run shorter for several of these, with blindness dropping from 11 seconds to 7. Stew is the only way to get Saturation or Blindness in survival without commands.

Where to farm Minecraft flowers efficiently

The flower forest carries almost every small flower type, which makes it the fastest biome for collecting a full dye set. Bone meal on grass blocks there regrows whatever the biome supports.

Meadows add alliums and cornflowers at higher density. Swamps are the only source of blue orchids, and the pale garden is the only source of eyeblossoms.

Bone meal duplication works on placed flowers in any biome. Place one flower, apply bone meal to it, and copies spread to nearby grass blocks regardless of local generation rules.

Flowers and bees

Bees pollinate any flower and return to the hive to raise honey levels. A ring of flowers within a few blocks of a hive keeps production running without player input.

Wither roses are the exception. They damage any mob that touches them, bees included, so they stay out of apiaries.

FAQ

How many flowers are in Minecraft?

Current versions have sixteen one-block flowers and five two-block flowers, for twenty-one standard flowers. Additional flowering blocks such as pink petals, wildflowers and cactus flowers also produce dye.

Which Minecraft biome has the most flowers?

The flower forest generates nearly every small flower type, including alliums, lily of the valley, all four tulips and cornflowers. It is the fastest biome for collecting a complete dye set.

How do you duplicate flowers in Minecraft?

Place a flower on grass and apply bone meal directly to it. Copies spread to nearby grass blocks. This works in any biome, including ones where that flower does not generate naturally.

Which flower gives black dye in Minecraft?

The wither rose is the only flower that crafts black dye. It drops when the Wither kills a mob, so it cannot be found growing naturally in any biome.

Do tall flowers give more dye?

Yes. Sunflowers, lilacs, rose bushes, peonies and pitcher plants each craft into two dye. Small flowers craft into one, and tall flowers cannot be used for suspicious stew.
