Spore Blossom
Spore Blossom is a ceiling-mounted decorative flower from lush caves that rains green spores, cannot be crafted, and is a non-renewable resource (finite world supply).
Description
Spore Blossom emits two streams of green spore particles: a narrow column falling straight down up to 70 blocks, plus a wider cloud drifting inside a 21x12x21 area beneath the bloom. Builders hang Spore Blossom from indoor ceilings, dripstone chambers, and bee farms, because bees pollinate the flower for a +1 honey level and can be bred or lured with it. Oak, birch, and cherry saplings grown within 2 blocks of a Spore Blossom carry a 5% chance to sprout with a bee nest holding 2-3 bees. With a stack size of 64 and no tool required to harvest, Spore Blossom is a cheap way to add animated, living color overhead.

How to find and use a Spore Blossom in Minecraft
-
1
Locate a lush cave
Dig down below Y=0 until azalea trees, moss, and dripstone signal a lush cave, then scan the ceiling for the green Spore Blossom blooms.
-
2
Break the flower by hand
Spore Blossom breaks instantly with hardness 0, so no tool is needed; punch the bloom to drop it as an item.
-
3
Place it on a ceiling
Spore Blossom attaches only to the underside of a solid block and never to leaves, so aim at the bottom face of a block overhead.
-
4
Pair it with bees
Set a Spore Blossom near a beehive or saplings; bees pollinate the flower for a +1 honey level and can be bred with it.
Spore Blossom is non-renewable and the world supply is finite, and the flower is flammable even though it emits no light.

No. Spore Blossom has no crafting recipe and cannot be grown, so the only way to obtain one is to harvest it from the ceiling of a lush cave.
Where do Spore Blossoms generate?
Spore Blossoms generate only on the ceilings of lush caves, the underground biome introduced in Minecraft 1.17.
Is the Spore Blossom renewable?
No. Spore Blossom is a non-renewable block, meaning the world holds a finite number of them once every lush cave has been harvested.
What tool breaks a Spore Blossom fastest?
Any tool works, because Spore Blossom has hardness 0 and breaks instantly; a player's bare hand is just as fast as a shear or axe.
Do bees interact with the Spore Blossom?
Yes. Bees pollinate Spore Blossom, raising a hive's honey level by 1, and players can use the flower to breed or lead bees.
Does the Spore Blossom give off light?
No. Spore Blossom emits no light; it only produces decorative green spore particles despite growing in dark lush caves.
