A cornflower is a flower that can be crafted into blue dye and suspicious stew.

Obtaining

Breaking

A cornflower can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A cornflower also breaks if water or lava runs over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

Natural generation

Cornflowers generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, and meadow biomes as part of vegetation features. In Java Edition, they are also technically capable of growing in dripstone caves and deep dark biomes, though it is very unlikely due to lack of grass blocks in these biomes. In flower forests and meadows, cornflowers only generate as part of gradients.

Natural cornflowers are also found in plains villages.

Post-generation

Main article: Flower § Post-generation

Java Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, meadow, dripstone caves, or deep dark biome, cornflowers have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area. In meadows and flower forests, cornflowers can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains, sunflower plains, dripstone caves, and the deep dark, cornflowers cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

Bedrock Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, or flower forest biome, cornflowers have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 7×5×7 area. In flower forests, cornflowers can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains and sunflower plains, cornflowers cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to a cornflower that has been placed on top of a grass block in any biome, more cornflowers appear on top of nearby grass blocks. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

Mob loot

In Java Edition, endermen can pick up cornflowers, like any other one-block-tall flower, and drop it if killed while holding it.

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 25% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 cornflower when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell a cornflower for 1 emerald.

Usage

Main article: Flower § Usage

Like other flowers, cornflowers can be used as decoration and planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots.

Cornflowers can also be placed in flower pots.

Bees

Bees engage in a pollinating behavior with cornflowers, increasing the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1.

Breeding

Cornflowers can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of a cornflower have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Composting

Placing a cornflower into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of cornflowers yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.
