A dandelion is a flower that can be crafted into yellow dye, suspicious stew, and golden dandelions, and used to breed and lure rabbits.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

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

A dandelion 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]

Dandelions generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks as part of vegetation features next to poppies. This is most common in grassy biomes like plains and windswept hills, but they can also generate on dirt. They can generate in any Overworld biome, except:

In jungles, bamboo jungles, sparse jungles, savannas and savanna plateaus, dandelions are twice as common as in other biomes. In flower forests, meadows, and plains, dandelions generate as part of gradients.

Natural dandelions are found in plains and savanna villages. Potted dandelions can also generate in woodland mansions.

Post-generation

[edit | edit source]

Java Edition

[edit | edit source]

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in one of the biomes listed above (except those marked as β€Œ[Bedrock Edition only]), dandelions have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15Γ—5Γ—15 area. In meadows and flower forests, dandelions can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains, sunflower plains, dripstone caves, and the deep dark, dandelions cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

Bedrock Edition

[edit | edit source]

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in any biome except swamp, pale garden, and flower forest, dandelions have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 7Γ—5Γ—7 area. Unlike Java Edition, bone meal can generate dandelions anywhere within a meadow biome. In plains and sunflower plains, dandelions cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to a dandelion in any biome, more dandelions appear on top of nearby grass blocks. Poppies can also occasionally appear, and dandelions can occasionally appear when bone meal is applied to poppies. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7Γ—7 square.

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

Endermen can pick up dandelions, 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 dandelion when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Usage

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

Like other flowers, dandelions 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.

Dandelions can also be placed in flower pots.

Suspicious stew

[edit | edit source]
Main article: Suspicious Stew

Suspicious stew that is created using a dandelion imparts the Saturation effect for 0.35 seconds in Java Edition or 0.3 seconds in Bedrock Edition. The Saturation effect restores an additional 7 (πŸ‘ πŸ–

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

Breeding

[edit | edit source]

Dandelions can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees and rabbits.

Bee nests

[edit | edit source]

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

Composting

[edit | edit source]

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