Minecraft:Sunflower: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:06, 9 April 2026

Template:For Template:Infobox block A sunflower is a tall Minecraft:flower that generates exclusively in sunflower plains biomes. It can be crafted into 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. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

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

Template:Block distribution

Post-generation

Template:Main

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

Usage

Template:Main

Like other flowers, sunflowers can be used as decoration 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.

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

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Navigation

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

Bees

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

Breeding

Sunflowers can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests

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