Description

Cornflower generates in plains, sunflower plains, and flower forest biomes. It stands as a single-block plant with a cluster of small, vivid blue petals, giving it a color that is more saturated and distinct than the lighter hues of azure bluet. The flower is one of only a few naturally occurring sources of blue dye without smelting or trading.

Crafting one cornflower in any slot of the crafting grid yields one blue dye. Blue dye has many uses: coloring wool, terracotta, concrete powder, glass, shulker boxes, candles, beds, banners, and leather armor. It also serves as an ingredient when mixing dyes to produce cyan, purple, or green.

Like most small flowers, cornflower can be combined with a bowl and sugar on the crafting table to make suspicious stew; this variant applies the jump boost effect. Bone meal applied to the flower on grass will spread additional specimens nearby. Bees regularly visit it during foraging flights, and the item can be used in a composter.
