A '''sunflower''' is a tall [[Minecraft:flower]] that generates exclusively in [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]] biomes. It can be crafted into [[Minecraft:yellow dye]].

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

A sunflower 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|Sunflower|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===

Sunflowers generate naturally on [[Minecraft:dirt]] and [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]] as part of [[Minecraft:vegetation]] features.

{{block distribution}}

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

When [[Minecraft:bone meal]] is applied to a sunflower, the flower drops a copy of itself.

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

Like other flowers, sunflowers 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:Pale Moss Block|pale moss blocks]], [[Minecraft:mud]], or [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]].

Like other tall flowers, sunflowers cannot be placed inside [[Minecraft:flower pot]]s.

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

=== Navigation ===
Sunflowers always face east, making them useful for navigation if the [[Minecraft:sun]] is not visible. This also works in the [[Minecraft:Nether]] and the [[Minecraft:End]].

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

=== Breeding===
Sunflowers 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 sunflower have a 5% chance to grow with a [[Minecraft:bee nest]] and 2-3 [[Minecraft:bee]]s in it.

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