Natural generation

Sunflowers generate naturally on Minecraft:dirt and Minecraft:grass blocks in Minecraft:sunflower plains as part of Minecraft:vegetation features.

Post-generation

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

Usage

Like other flowers, sunflowers can be used as decoration and planted on Minecraft:grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:moss blocks, pale moss blocks, Minecraft:mud, or Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots.

Like other tall flowers, sunflowers cannot be placed inside Minecraft:flower pots.

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:Bees engage in a pollinating behavior with sunflowers, increasing the honey level in Minecraft:beehives and Minecraft:bee nests by 1.

Breeding

Like most Minecraft:flowers, sunflowers can be used to Minecraft:breed, grow, and lead Minecraft:bees.

Bee nests

Minecraft:Oak, Minecraft:birch, and Minecraft:cherry trees grown from Minecraft:saplings that are within 2 blocks of a sunflower have a 5% chance to grow with a Minecraft:bee nest and 2-3 Minecraft:bees 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.
