Flowers are a type of natural plant in Minecraft that are useful for getting Wool Dyes to color wool blocks into different colors which can then make paintings,or as decorative blocks to be placed around your home in Minecraft. While they can be planted on grass and dirt blocks, flowers cannot be cultivated like trees, sugar cane, or other crops, but can occasionally spawn when bonemeal is used to generate patches of tall grass. They appear to spawn randomly in clusters on grass tiles.

Behavior To survive, they must be planted on a grass or dirt block that either does not have a block any altitude above it to obstruct sun/moonlight, or is lit with at least a light level of 8. If neither of these conditions exist, the flower will quickly pop out. This attribute allows flowers to be used in the creation of light-sensitive mechanisms.

Even in a biome covered with snow, flowers will generate naturally on dirt blocks with grass, despite the adjoining dirt blocks being covered with snow.

Cyan Flowers can only be obtained in Minecraft Pocket Edition. Cyan Flowers spawn randomly similar to Rose flowers, but they do not craft into any wool dyes. They and Dandelions are the only items that appear in Minecraft PE when bone meal is used on grass blocks. Cyan flowers were supposed to be in the PC version of Minecraft but were removed.

TriviaEdit

• On SMP, placing a flower on a stone block with a layer of snow on top would result in the flower being planted normally.
• Due to the nature of their spawning algorithm, it is possible (but relatively rare) to find naturally-spawned flowers in lava caverns.
• In 1.8, a map generation glitch made it impossible to find red flowers without using Bone Meal. This has been fixed in 1.9.
• In the pirate language, a rose is called "lady's flower."

• In Minecraft Classic, when flowers are placed on other objects other than dirt, they will disappear. Similarly, this happens to mushrooms as well.

• In web company RoosterTeeth's "Achievement Hunter Minecraft Let's Plays", the rose is Ray(AHBrownMan)'s favorite item, and has come to symbolize him as well as his hatred for Cake.

• In Minecraft Classic, flowers can also be glitched to float in mid-air, seen by the game as one block beside another block.

• In Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite, when digging up a Cyan Flower, it will provide a drop that when collected, will just vanish. You can only place these in the full version. This same effect happens with wood.
