Poppy
These cheerful red poppies, replacing the original "rose" and cyan flowers, are found in various biomes and even dropped by Iron Golems. Their main use is crafting red dye, perfect for banners, beds, wool, sheep, and wolf collars.
Dandelion
Bright yellow dandelions brighten up most biomes (except marshes and ice plains). They're your primary source of yellow dye, though sunflowers provide double the yield. Add a splash of sunshine to your banners and wool!
Allium
These stunning purple alliums, found in flower forests, create magenta dye. Use it to recolor mobs and craft beautiful magenta stained glass, terracotta, and wool. A touch of elegance for any build.
Rose Bush
Tall and striking, rose bushes add a splash of red to various wooded biomes. Harvest them for red dye, ideal for wool, banners, beds, and leather armor. Unlike the wither rose, these are purely decorative and useful.
Wither Rose
Beware the wither rose! This ominous flower doesn't grow naturally; it appears after a mob is killed by the Wither or rarely in the Nether. Touching it inflicts the Wither effect (curable with milk). It's used to make black dye and firework stars, a dangerous but valuable resource.
Peony Bush
These tall, pink peony bushes thrive in woodland ecosystems. Craft them into pink dye (or combine red and white dye) and use it to color wool, stained glass, terracotta, and wolf collars. Bone meal helps them grow!
Lily of the Valley
The delicate lily of the valley, found in forests, yields white dye. Use it to dye wool, banners, beds, terracotta, and wolf collars, or as a base for creating other dye colors.
Tulip
Tulips come in red, orange, white, and pink varieties, found in plains and flower forests. Their color determines the dye they produce (red, pink, orange, or light gray), offering versatile dyeing options.
Azure Bluet
This small, white and yellow flower, found in grasslands and flower forests, makes light gray dye.
Blue Orchid
The rare blue orchid, found in swamps and taigas, is used to create light blue dye.
Cornflower
These spiky blue cornflowers, found in plains and flower forests, produce blue dye for wool, glass, and terracotta.
Torchflower
Grown from seeds, torchflowers yield orange dye. Their behavior varies slightly between Java and Bedrock editions.
Lilac
These tall, light-purple lilacs, found in various forest biomes, produce magenta dye.
Oxeye Daisy
The simple oxeye daisy, found in plains, makes light gray dye and can be used for decorative banner patterns.
Sunflower
These tall sunflowers, found in sunflower plains, produce yellow dye and are useful for navigation.
