Minecraft’s vast world is filled with unique items scattered across its diverse biomes, and flowers stand out with their wide variety of types and uses. From vibrant decorations to crafting dyes and Suspicious Stews with unique effects, flowers are both beautiful and functional.
In this guide, Gurugamer provides a comprehensive overview of how to find and use all flowers in Minecraft 1.21, ranked loosely by utility and rarity as inspired by community insights.
Dandelion
Where to Find: Dandelions are everywhere in grassy spots like plains, forests, and meadows. You’ll also spot them in flowerpots in Woodland Mansions.
How to Farm: Hit grass blocks with bone meal in these biomes to grow them.
Uses: Turn them into Yellow Dye or Suspicious Stew (Saturation effect). The stew fills your hunger bar fast, which is handy early on.
Why It’s Great: Super common and great for quick food, dandelions are a solid pick for new players.
Poppy
Where to Find: Poppies grow in forests and near villages, plus some plains and meadows.
How to Farm: Use bone meal on grass in those areas. Iron golems also drop poppies - players can get a lot of it from an Iron Golem Farm.
Uses: Make Red Dye or Suspicious Stew (Night Vision). Night Vision is awesome for checking out dark places like the Deep Dark.
Why It’s Great: Easy to find and super useful for seeing in the dark, poppies are a go-to for explorers.
Blue Orchid
Where to Find: Blue Orchids only show up in swamp biomes, so they’re a bit trickier to find.
How to Farm: Use bone meal on grass in swamps to spawn them.
Uses: Craft into Light Blue Dye or Suspicious Stew (Saturation). Like dandelions, it’s good for keeping your hunger in check.
Why It’s Great: They look nice and make decent dye, but you’re stuck hunting in swamps.
Allium
Where to Find: Alliums are less common, only popping up in flower forests and meadows. You might find some in Woodland Mansions too.
How to Farm: Bone meal in flower forests or meadows will do the trick.
Uses: Craft into Magenta Dye or Suspicious Stew (Fire Resistance). Fire Resistance is nice for Nether trips or fighting blazes.
Why It’s Great: The Fire Resistance stew is handy for specific situations, but you’ll need to hunt for these.
Azure Bluet
Where to Find: Azure Bluets are pretty common in plains and meadows.
How to Farm: Bone meal in those biomes spawns them easily.
Uses: Make Light Gray Dye or Suspicious Stew (Blindness). Blindness is mostly useful in PvP, not so much for solo play.
Why It’s Great: They’re easy to grab, but the Blindness stew isn’t super practical for most players.
Tulip
Where to Find: Tulips come in four colors (red, orange, white, pink) and grow in plains, sunflower plains, and flower forests.
How to Farm: Use bone meal in those biomes to get a random tulip color.
Uses: Craft into Red, Orange, Light Gray, or Pink Dye, or Suspicious Stew (Weakness). Weakness is mainly for PvP or niche mob farms.
Why It’s Great: Lots of dye options make tulips nice for building, but the Weakness stew isn’t a game-changer.
Oxeye Daisy
Where to Find: Look in plains, meadows, or forests for these.
How to Farm: Bone meal on grass in those biomes works.
Uses: Craft into Light Gray Dye, Suspicious Stew (Regeneration), or Flower Charge banners for custom designs. Regeneration is great for fighting or exploring.
Why It’s Great: The Regeneration stew makes these a top choice for staying alive in tough spots.
Cornflower
Where to Find: Cornflowers grow in plains, meadows, and forests.
How to Farm: Bone meal in those biomes spawns them.
Uses: Craft into Blue Dye or Suspicious Stew (Jump Boost). Jump Boost is fun for parkour or tricky terrain but not essential.
Why It’s Great: Easy to find, but the Jump Boost stew isn’t as useful as other effects.
Lily of the Valley
Where to Find: These rare flowers grow in forest biomes, especially flower forests.
How to Farm: Bone meal only works in flower forests, and even then, it’s not guaranteed.
Uses: Craft into White Dye or Suspicious Stew (Poison). Poison is mostly for traps or PvP.
Why It’s Great: They’re pretty and rare, perfect for fancy builds, but the Poison stew isn’t super useful.
Wither Rose
Where to Find: Wither Roses don’t grow naturally. You get them when the Wither kills a mob, dropping a rose where it died.
How to Farm: Set up a Wither fight in a controlled area to let it kill mobs for roses.
Uses: Craft into Black Dye or Suspicious Stew (Wither effect). They also deal Wither damage to anything standing on them, great for mob farms or traps.
Why It’s Great: Super unique and powerful for traps, but you’ve got to deal with the Wither, so it’s risky.
Sunflower
Where to Find: Sunflowers are rare, only found in sunflower plains biomes.
How to Farm: Bone meal in sunflower plains to grow more.
Uses: Craft into Yellow Dye. They don’t make Suspicious Stew, but they always face east, so they’re like a natural compass.
Why It’s Great: They look awesome and help with navigation, but you need to find their specific biome.
Lilac
Where to Find: Lilacs are two-block-tall flowers in flower forests, plains, and other grassy biomes.
How to Farm: Bone meal in those biomes duplicates them.
Uses: Craft into Magenta Dye.
Why It’s Great: Their height makes gardens look epic, but they’re just dye with no stew effects.
Rose Bush
Where to Find: Find these two-block-tall flowers in birch forests and flower forests.
How to Farm: Bone meal in those biomes duplicates them.
Uses: Craft into Red Dye.
Why It’s Great: Tall and pretty for decorating, but they only give you dye.
Peony
Where to Find: Peonies are two-block-tall flowers in flower forests and birch forests.
How to Farm: Bone meal in those biomes duplicates them.
Uses: Craft into Pink Dye.
Why It’s Great: They’re awesome for big floral setups, but like lilacs and rose bushes, they’re just for dye.
