What is Sunflower in Minecraft?
A sunflower is a beautiful, two block tall flower with a bright yellow face and a green stalk. It is one of several tall flowers found in Minecraft. A very special property of the sunflower is that its face will always turn to face the east. This makes it a natural compass. Its main purpose is to be a source of yellow dye and a stunning decorative block. Players can plant it in their gardens or around their base to add a splash of vibrant color and a bit of height to their landscaping. It is a simple but very useful and cheerful flower.
How to get Sunflower in Minecraft
Getting a sunflower is very easy. Sunflowers generate naturally only in one biome: the sunflower plains. This biome looks just like a regular plains biome, but it is covered in sunflowers. Just walk around this area and you are sure to see them. To pick one up, you can simply break it with your hand or any tool. Since it is two blocks tall, breaking the bottom half will also break the top half. Another very easy way to get a lot of sunflowers is to use bone meal on a grass block in a sunflower plains biome. This will cause a patch of tall grass and sunflowers to grow instantly.
How to use Sunflower in Minecraft
A sunflower has several great uses. Its most unique use is as a compass. No matter where you place it, its face will always point to the east. This can be very helpful for navigation if you do not have a regular compass. Its main crafting use is to get yellow dye. Just place a single sunflower anywhere in a crafting grid to get two pieces of yellow dye. This is very efficient compared to single block flowers. For builders, the sunflower is a lovely decorative block. You can place it on grass or dirt blocks to make your gardens and landscapes look more vibrant and full. Because it is two blocks tall, it is great for adding variety and height to your flower beds.
