A '''golden dandelion''' is a [[Minecraft:craft]]able [[Minecraft:flower]] that can be {{ctrl|fed}} to [[Minecraft:baby]] [[Minecraft:mob]]s to pause their aging, or resume it by feeding another one to the same baby mob. It does not generate naturally and can only be obtained through [[Minecraft:crafting]] or the [[Minecraft:wandering trader]].

== Obtaining ==
Unlike other one-block-tall flowers {{in|be}}, players cannot spread golden dandelions on top of nearby grass blocks by applying [[Minecraft:bone meal]] on a golden dandelion.

=== Breaking ===
A golden dandelion can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A golden dandelion 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.

=== Trading ===
{{Trade sources}}

== Usage ==
Like other flowers, golden dandelions can be used as decoration, placed in [[Minecraft:flower pot]]s, 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:pale moss block]]s, [[Minecraft:mud]], or [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]]. Unlike other flowers however, golden dandelions cannot be [[Minecraft:composted]], and neither attract nor get pollinated by [[Minecraft:bee]]s.

=== Baby mobs ===
A golden dandelion can be {{ctrl|used}} on a [[Minecraft:baby]] mob that normally ages (excluding [[Minecraft:villager]]s but including small [[Minecraft:sulfur cube]]s{{upcoming|Chaos Cubed}}), which resets and locks its aging time ({{convert|24000|tick|min}} for most mobs, or {{convert|48000|tick|min}} for [[Minecraft:snifflet]]s), prevents it from [[Minecraft:despawning]], and displays downward-moving particles. One cannot be used if the mob has the [[Minecraft:Entity type tag (Java Edition)#cannot_be_age_locked|{{cd|cannot_be_age_locked}}]] entity tag. The golden dandelion is consumed when used on a mob. If a second golden dandelion is used on the same mob, the mob resumes aging and upward-moving particles are displayed. The golden dandelion has a 2 second use cooldown per mob.

Using a golden dandelion on a baby mob sets the NBT value {{cd|AgeLocked}}{{only|JE}} or {{cd|GrowthPaused}}{{only|BE}} to 1. Using it again sets the NBT value back to 0.

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

=== Suspicious stew ===
{{main|Suspicious Stew}}
Suspicious stew that is created using a golden dandelion imparts the [[Minecraft:Saturation (effect)|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 {{in|bedrock}}. The suspicious stew can be made using a golden dandelion or produced by feeding a dandelion to a non-baby brown [[Minecraft:mooshroom]] and then milking it with a bowl.

=== Piglins ===
[[Minecraft:Piglin]]s run toward any golden dandelion item on the ground and inspect it for 6 seconds {{in|java}} or 8 seconds {{in|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-99448||Piglins need 8 seconds to barter, while they only need 6 in java}}</ref> before putting it in their inventory.

=== Bee nests ===
[[Minecraft:Oak]], [[Minecraft:birch]], and [[Minecraft:cherry]] trees grown from [[Minecraft:sapling]]s planted within 2 blocks of a golden dandelion have a 5% chance to grow with a [[Minecraft:bee nest]] and 2–3 [[Minecraft:bee]]s in it.
