A '''blue orchid''' is a [[Minecraft:flower]] that generates exclusively in [[Minecraft:swamp]] biomes. It is used to craft [[Minecraft:light blue dye]] and [[Minecraft:suspicious stew]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A blue orchid can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A blue orchid also breaks if [[Minecraft:water]] or [[Minecraft:lava]] runs over its location, if a [[Minecraft:piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.
{{breaking row|Blue Orchid|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Blue orchids generate naturally on [[Minecraft:dirt]] and [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in [[Minecraft:swamp]]s as part of [[Minecraft:vegetation]] features.

Potted blue orchids can also be found in [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
{{Main|Flower#Post-generation}}

When [[Minecraft:bone meal]] is applied to a [[Minecraft:grass block]] in a swamp biome, blue orchids have a chance of generating on the targeted [[Minecraft:block]] and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area {{in|java}}, or a 7×5×7 area {{in|bedrock}}.

{{IN|Bedrock}}, when [[Minecraft:bone meal]] is applied to a blue orchid in any biome, more blue orchids appear on top of nearby grass blocks. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|java}}, [[Minecraft:endermen]] can pick up blue orchids, like any other one-block-tall flower, and [[Minecraft:drop]] it if killed while holding it.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop 1 blue orchid when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell a blue orchid for 1 [[Minecraft:emerald]].
{{Trade sources}}

== Usage ==
{{Main|Flower#Usage}}

Like other flowers, blue orchids can be used as decoration and planted on [[Minecraft:grass block]]s, [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]], [[Minecraft:farmland]], [[Minecraft:podzol]], [[Minecraft:mycelium]], [[Minecraft:moss block]]s, [[Minecraft:mud]], or [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]].

Blue orchids can also be placed in [[Minecraft:flower pot]]s.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{Crafting usage}}

=== Suspicious stew ===
{{Main|Suspicious Stew}}

Suspicious stew that is created using a blue orchid imparts the {{EffectLink|Saturation}} effect for 0.35 seconds {{in|java}} or 0.3 seconds {{in|bedrock}}. The Saturation effect restores an additional {{hunger|7}} hunger and 14 saturation {{in|java}}, or {{hunger|6}} hunger and 12 saturation {{in|bedrock}}. The suspicious stew can be crafted using a blue orchid or produced by feeding a blue orchid to a brown [[Minecraft:mooshroom]] and then milking it with a [[Minecraft:bowl]].

=== Bees ===
[[Minecraft:Bee]]s engage in a pollinating behavior with blue orchids, increasing the honey level in [[Minecraft:beehive]]s and [[Minecraft:bee nest]]s by 1.

=== Breeding ===
Blue orchids can be used to [[Minecraft:breed]], grow, and lead [[Minecraft:bee]]s.

=== Bee nests ===
[[Minecraft:Oak]], [[Minecraft:birch]], and [[Minecraft:cherry]] trees grown from [[Minecraft:sapling]]s that are within 2 blocks of a blue orchid have a 5% chance to grow with a [[Minecraft:bee nest]] and 2-3 [[Minecraft:bee]]s in it.

=== Composting ===
Placing a blue orchid into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of blue orchids yields an average of 5.94 [[Minecraft:bone meal]].
