Dandelion block in Minecraft

Present since 1.7.2 or earlier Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

The Dandelion is a small yellow flower found in plains, forests and most grassy biomes. It is the usual source of yellow dye, and rabbits and bees are fond of it.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 65% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

Crafted on its own, a dandelion gives one Yellow Dye. In a suspicious stew with two mushrooms, it adds a short burst of saturation, which makes that stew more filling than a plain one.

Rabbits trail after anyone carrying dandelions, and two rabbits fed with them produce a baby. Bees pollinate dandelions and carry the pollen back to their hive, helping nearby crops grow on the way. Eight gold nuggets around a dandelion make a Golden Dandelion.

Dandelions grow from bone meal used on grass, fit in a flower pot and go into a composter. They pop off when the block below them is removed and are washed away by flowing water.
