Torchflower
Torchflower is a Trails & Tales flower grown from sniffer-dug seeds that crafts into orange dye and breeds sniffers in Minecraft.
Description
A fully grown Torchflower crafts into one orange dye at a 1:1 ratio, giving an alternative to orange tulips for coloring wool, terracotta, and concrete. Torchflower seeds also breed sniffers: feed the seeds to two adult sniffers and the pair does not produce a baby directly — the sniffer drops a sniffer egg that hatches into a snifflet, with a 5-minute breeding cooldown. Torchflower can be displayed in a flower pot, gets pollinated by bees, and sits on grass, dirt, or farmland for warm-toned garden builds. Its orange-and-yellow bloom suits savanna decoration, archaeology-themed museums, and any build that wants a rare, lore-rich plant tied to Minecraft's ancient sniffer mob.

Minecraft Guide
How to get and use Torchflower in Minecraft
-
1
Hatch a sniffer
Recover a sniffer egg from suspicious sand at warm ocean ruins, place it on moss to hatch faster, and wait for the snifflet to grow into an adult sniffer.
-
2
Collect torchflower seeds
Let the adult sniffer wander on grass or dirt; it periodically digs and drops torchflower seeds you can pick up.
-
3
Grow the flower
Plant torchflower seeds on farmland and let them pass through their growth stages into a bloomed Torchflower; breaking an immature plant only returns the seed.
-
4
Use the bloom
Harvest the Torchflower and craft it into one orange dye, feed the seeds to adult sniffers to breed more, or pot the flower as decoration.
Torchflower seeds come only from sniffers — villagers do not sell them and they do not generate in the world directly, making the sniffer the sole renewable source.
