Minecraft:Golden Dandelion/Upstream
More actions
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 in Template:Editions, 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. Script error: No such module "breaking row".
