Description

Blue Orchid generates exclusively in swamp and mangrove swamp biomes, giving it a much more restricted distribution than most other flowers. Its vibrant light-blue color contrasts sharply with the dark, moody palette of the swamp, making it a popular decorative item for swamp-themed builds.

The plant stands as a single-block stem with a distinctive orchid-shaped flower head that is visually larger and more intricate than small flowers like dandelion or azure bluet. Breaking the block drops one item.

Its primary crafting use is light blue dye: one blue orchid in any crafting slot produces one light blue dye. Light blue dye can recolor wool, terracotta, concrete powder, glass, shulker boxes, candles, beds, and leather armor. It can also be mixed with other dyes to produce related colors.

Like other small flowers, it can be combined with a bowl and sugar to produce suspicious stew, granting the saturation effect. Bone meal applied on grass in swamp biomes will spread the flowers nearby. The item can be used in a composter.
