Minecraft:Paeonia

The paeonia was a Minecraft:flower type originally planned for implementation in Minecraft:Java Edition 1.7.2, but got replaced with the Minecraft:peony.

Obtaining

Paeonias would presumably have been obtainable through similar methods to other flowers. The only released screenshot depicts them planted in a taiga biome, though as peony bushes have never generated in this biome it is unknown if they would have naturally generated here.

Usage

Paeonias would presumably have been craftable into pink dye like the peony bushes that replaced them, and would have had the same properties that are shared by all one block tall flowers.

History

Originally revealed by Minecraft:Jeb in a screenshot,<ref>"I've been adding a bunch of new flowers to #minecraft. One of them is the pink Paeonia, as it was the main flower for our wedding" – @jebkhaile, August 16, 2013</ref> the flower was never implemented, being superseded by the Minecraft:peony.

However, the texture for the paeonia was still added to the game's texture files in 13w36a as flower_paeonia.png, alongside all the actually implemented flowers. This texture persisted in the files for over four years, eventually being removed in 17w47a without a doubt due to resource changes and the Flattening.

Interestingly, despite the texture being completely unused throughout its presence in the game files, paeonias were redone in the Minecraft:Texture Update beta packs. The texture is present in the Bedrock Edition default resource pack, having been added along with the other texture update textures.
