Minecraft:Golden Dandelion/Upstream: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:51, 9 April 2026

A golden dandelion is a craftable Minecraft:flower that can be Template:Ctrl to baby Minecraft:mobs 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 wandering trader.

Obtaining

Unlike other one-block-tall flowers Template:In, players cannot spread golden dandelions on top of nearby grass blocks by applying 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. Template:Breaking row

Usage

Like other flowers, golden dandelions can be used as decoration, placed in flower pots, and planted on grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:mycelium, moss blocks, pale moss blocks, Minecraft:mud, or muddy mangrove roots. Unlike other flowers however, golden dandelions cannot be composted, and neither attract nor get pollinated by bees.

Baby mobs

A golden dandelion can be Template:Ctrl on a baby mob that normally ages (excluding Minecraft:villagers but including small sulfur cubesTemplate:Upcoming), which resets and locks its aging time (Template:Convert for most mobs, or Template:Convert for snifflets), prevents it from despawning, and displays downward-moving particles. One cannot be used if the mob has the Template:Cd 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 Template:Cd Template:Only or Template:Cd Template:Only to 1. Using it again sets the NBT value back to 0.
