A blue orchid is a flower that generates exclusively in swamp biomes. It is used to craft light blue dye and suspicious stew.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

A blue orchid can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A blue orchid also breaks if water or lava runs over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Blue orchids generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in swamps as part of vegetation features.

Potted blue orchids can also be found in woodland mansions.

Post-generation

[edit | edit source]

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a swamp biome, blue orchids have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15Γ—5Γ—15 area in Java Edition, or a 7Γ—5Γ—7 area in Bedrock Edition.

In Bedrock Edition, when bone meal is applied to a blue orchid in any biome, more blue orchids appear on top of nearby grass blocks. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7Γ—7 square.

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

In Java Edition, endermen can pick up blue orchids, like any other one-block-tall flower, and drop it if killed while holding it.

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 blue orchid when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Trading

[edit | edit source]

Wandering traders may sell a blue orchid for 1 emerald.

Usage

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Flower Β§ Usage

Like other flowers, blue orchids can be used as decoration and planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots.

Blue orchids can also be placed in flower pots.

Bees engage in a pollinating behavior with blue orchids, increasing the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1.

Breeding

[edit | edit source]

Blue orchids can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests

[edit | edit source]

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of a blue orchid have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Composting

[edit | edit source]

Placing a blue orchid into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of blue orchids yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.
