Allium
Allium is a purple flower found only in flower forests, used to craft magenta dye.
Description
Breaking the block yields one allium item. Its sole dye use is crafting magenta dye: one allium in any slot of the crafting grid gives one magenta dye. Magenta dye can be used to color wool, terracotta, concrete powder, glass, shulker boxes, candles, beds, and leather armor, or mixed with other dyes to create related colors.
Like most small flowers, allium can be combined with a bowl, a red mushroom, and a brown mushroom to produce suspicious stew; this variant applies the fire resistance effect briefly. Bone meal applied on grass in a flower forest can cause it to spread alongside other biome-specific flowers. Bees pollinate it during foraging, and the item can be used in a composter.
