Poppy

Poppies are small, vibrant red flowers that have replaced the original "rose" and cyan flowers in earlier game versions. Any existing flowers in a Minecraft world were automatically converted into poppies. They naturally occur in several biomes and can also be dropped by Iron Golems, who occasionally gift them to village children. Their primary use is in crafting red dye, which can be used for recoloring banners, beds, wool, sheep, and tamed wolf collars.
Dandelion

Dandelions, with their bright yellow blossoms, grow in most biomes except marshes and ice plains. They are commonly found in flower forests and serve as the main source of yellow dye. While dandelions yield one unit of dye, sunflowers produce two. These cheerful flowers are invaluable for adding a splash of color to banners, wool, and other decorative elements.
Allium

Alliums are striking purple blooms that naturally grow in flower forest biomes. They are primarily used to create magenta dye, essential for recoloring mobs and crafting beautiful blocks such as magenta stained glass, terracotta, and wool. These exquisite flowers add elegance to any garden or construction.
Rose Bush

Rose bushes are tall, red-flowered plants found in various forested biomes. Like lilacs and sunflowers, they are among Minecraft's rare two-block-high flowers. When harvested, they produce red dye, commonly used for dyeing wool, banners, beds, leather armor, and other items. Unlike the hazardous wither rose, the rose bush is purely decorative and functional, making it a safe yet striking addition to any landscape.
Wither Rose

The wither rose is a rare and ominous flower that does not grow naturally but is generated when a mob is killed by the Wither or occasionally found in the Nether. Stepping on a wither rose inflicts the Wither effect, gradually draining health and posing a deadly threat to unsuspecting players. This effect can be neutralized by drinking milk. Black dye, used for recoloring leather armor, terracotta, banners, beds, and wool, is crafted from withered roses. They also contribute to crafting firework stars and black concrete powder, making them a unique yet dangerous resource.
Peony Bush

Peony bushes are tall, pink-flowering plants that thrive in woodland biomes. These beautiful blooms can be transformed into pink dye by placing them on a crafting table or mixing red and white dye. Players can propagate peonies using bone meal, allowing for unlimited cultivation. Pink dye is useful for recoloring wool, stained glass, terracotta, and tamed wolf collars. Additionally, applying bone meal to grassy areas in specific biomes can result in pink flowers, expanding decorative options.
Lily of the Valley

The Lily of the Valley is a pure, bell-shaped flower found in forest and flower forest biomes. It can be converted into white dye, which is used to recolor wool, banners, beds, terracotta, and tamed wolf collars. Beyond its primary use, white dye is essential for creating secondary dyes such as gray, light gray, light blue, lime, magenta, and pink. These versatile flowers often sprout on grass blocks in suitable biomes, making them an easily accessible resource.

Tulips are among Minecraft's most diverse flowers, appearing in red, orange, white, and pink. They are found in plains and flower forests and serve as an important source of dye. Depending on their color, they can be used to create red, pink, orange, or light gray dye, offering numerous customization options for builds and items.
Azure Bluet

The azure bluet is a small, white and yellow flower that thrives in grasslands, sunflower plains, and flower forests. It is used to create light gray dye, which can also be made by combining bone meal and gray dye.
Blue Orchid

The blue orchid, a rare and vibrant flower found only in swamp and taiga biomes, is an effective source of light blue dye.
Cornflower

Cornflowers are blue flowers that thrive in plains and flower forests. Their spiky, star-shaped petals make them stand out in any environment. Their primary function is to produce blue dye, which is used to color wool, glass, and terracotta.
Torchflower

The torchflower, grown from seeds, yields orange dye. It does not generate naturally and cannot be spread using bone meal in Bedrock Edition. In Java Edition, endermen can carry and drop it. It can be used to decorate various types of soil and is suitable for flower pots.
Lilac

Lilacs are tall, two-block-high flowers with a soft light-purple hue. They occur naturally across various forest biomes, including plains, and are notable for their distinctive appearance and vibrant color. These blooms can be harvested and used to create magenta dye.
Oxeye Daisy

The oxeye daisy is a simple yet attractive white flower with a yellow center found in plains biomes. It is commonly used to create light gray dye, ideal for dyeing wool, leather armor, and glass. Beyond its functional uses, the oxeye daisy can be used to decorate banners, creating a sun-shaped pattern.
Sunflower

Sunflowers, introduced in Minecraft 1.7, were initially designed with a realistic appearance but later modified to fit the game's art style. These tall blooms, which face east to follow the sunrise, are excellent for navigation. They grow in the sunflower plains biome and can be used to create yellow dye.
These flowers are crucial in Minecraft for dyeing and creating potion-like effects. Discover them, explore their applications, and harness their hidden potential.
