Minecraft:Flowering Azalea/Upstream

Template:For Template:Infobox block A flowering azalea is a variant of Minecraft:azalea that counts as a Minecraft:flower for all purposes, including pollination by Minecraft:bees, except for crafting Minecraft:dyes.

Obtaining

Breaking

Flowering azaleas can be broken instantly using any tool or by hand. Harvesting a flowering azalea with Minecraft:shears consumes the durability of the shears for no additional benefit.

A flowering azalea also breaks if a Minecraft:piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if Minecraft:water flows into it. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Flowering azaleas generate commonly on top of moss in Minecraft:lush caves.

Post-generation

When decayed or mined with any tool except Minecraft:shears and tools enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, Minecraft:flowering azalea leaves have a 5% chance to drop flowering azaleas. The Minecraft:Fortune enchantment increases the rate to 6.25% at level I, 8.33% at level II, and 10% at level III.

When Template:Ctrl Minecraft:bone meal on a Minecraft:moss block, each block in a 3×3 to 7×7 area has a 5% chance of growing a flowering azalea.

Usage

Flowering azaleas function like any other Minecraft:flowers in their interaction and uses with Minecraft:bees. Flowering azaleas can be placed on Minecraft:grass blocks, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, Minecraft:rooted dirt, Minecraft:podzol, Minecraft:moss blocks, Minecraft:farmland, Minecraft:mud, Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots, and Minecraft:clay.

Unlike most transparent blocks, mobs can spawn on top of flowering azaleas in Java Edition<ref>Template:Bug</ref>.

Composting

Putting a flowering azalea in a Minecraft:composter has a 85% chance of increasing the composting level.

Fuel

Flowering azaleas can be used as a fuel source in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per azalea.

Growing trees

Unlike saplings, a flowering azalea does not automatically grow into an Minecraft:azalea tree. Therefore, using Minecraft:bone meal on it is the only way to grow an azalea tree. Application of bone meal gives a flowering azalea a 45% chance to grow into an azalea tree, provided there is a 3×5×3 area above it that is clear of all blocks that are not leaves or logs.

Bees

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

Breeding

Flowering azaleas 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 flowering azalea have a 5% chance to grow with a Minecraft:bee nest containing 2-3 bees.
