These cheerful red poppies, replacing the original roses and cyan flowers, are found in various biomes and even dropped by Iron Golems! Their primary use? Crafting red dye, perfect for banners, beds, wool, sheep, and even wolf collars.

Dandelion

Dandelion

Bright yellow dandelions brighten up most biomes (except marshes and ice plains). A single dandelion yields one unit of yellow dye, while sunflowers provide double the yield. Perfect for adding a sunny touch to your creations!

Allium

These stunning purple alliums, found in flower forests, are your source for magenta dye. Use it to recolor mobs and create beautiful magenta stained glass, terracotta, and wool—a must-have for any stylish builder.

Rose Bush

Tall and vibrant, rose bushes grow in various wooded biomes. Harvest them for red dye, ideal for wool, banners, beds, and even leather armor. Unlike the dangerous wither rose, these are purely beneficial and beautiful additions to your landscape.

Wither Rose

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 (drink milk to cure it!), but it's also the source of black dye, useful for leather armor, terracotta, banners, beds, and wool. It's also a key ingredient for firework stars and black concrete powder.
