A flower pot is a decorative block that can contain flowers, bamboo, saplings, cacti, mushrooms, fungi, and other small plants.

Obtaining

Breaking

Flower pots can be mined instantly using any tool or without a tool.

A flower pot drops itself as an item (any plant or mushroom in it separately) when pushed by a piston or when water flows into its space. If lava flows into its space the flower pot is destroyed.

Natural generation

Flower pots naturally generate in witch huts where they contain a red mushroom, the basement of igloos where they contain a cactus, and in woodland mansions, where they contain birch saplings, dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies.

Flower pots containing a dandelion can be found in some plains and savanna village houses. Flower pots containing a cactus or a dead bush can be found in some desert village houses. Flower pots containing a spruce sapling can be found in taiga village mason houses. Flower pots containing a poppy can be found in taiga village churches.

Flower pots either empty or containing a dead bush generate inside trial chambers.

Usage

An empty flower pot can be used to hold mushrooms, Nether fungi, and various plants. Plants that can be placed in a pot include any one-block-high flowers, saplings, ferns, dead bushes, cacti, bamboo, azaleas, mangrove propagule, warped roots, and crimson roots.

In Java Edition, flower pots can be placed on any block or over air.^[1]

In Bedrock Edition, they must be placed on top of a full-block top surface, or the top of a fence, stone wall, or hopper. They cannot be placed on slabs and stairs unless those blocks are upside-down. Pots may also be placed on an upward facing trapdoor, although the pot breaks if the trapdoor is opened.

Flower pots are ³⁄₈ of a block high and can be stepped on. It is not possible to walk from the top of a flower pot onto a full sized block without jumping. It is possible to jump from a flower pot onto a fence.

The plant or fungus can be removed from the flower pot by pressing use, unless the player is holding a plant or fungus that can be placed in the pot, in this case nothing happens. This places the item directly back into the player's inventory.^[2]

They can be used to display cacti and wither roses without inheriting their damaging properties.^[3][4]

Flower pots break falling blocks, similar to torches.

Potted warped fungus can be used to repel hoglins.

Potted eyeblossoms close during the day and open at night, but, unlike non-potted eyeblossoms, do so only upon receiving a random tick; they cannot communicate with other eyeblossoms, whether potted or not.

History

Java Edition

Java Edition
1.4.2			12w34a				Added flower pots.
							At this point, plants inside of flower pots rendered much like they do outside of flower pots, not being subject to directional shading.
			12w40a				A potted red mushroom can now be found on one window of a witch hut.
1.7.2			13w36a				Allium, azure bluet, oxeye daisies, blue orchids, red tulips, orange tulips, white tulips and pink tulips can now be placed in flower pots.
							As the rose has been replaced with the poppy, the potted rose is also now replaced with the potted poppy as a result.
							Due to the tile entity handling, it is now possible to place any block inside of a flower pot via NBT editors. However, at this point, with the ones possible in vanilla Survival aside, only grass, green shrubs, and cobwebs actually render.
							Potted grass now exists can be placed in flower pots using commands.
							Potted shrubs, grass, and ferns must now have block data value 11 to display biome colors, otherwise rendering as default/gray.
			13w37a				Added /setblock, allowing for the aforementioned potted plants to be obtained without map editing.
			13w43a				Acacia sapling and dark oak saplings can now be placed in flower pots.
1.8			14w04a				If a flower pot is set to render as the block inside of a minecart via commands or map editing, it now appears as this (previously it would be entirely invisible).
			14w06a				Many more blocks (almost all full cubes) placed into a flower pot by modifying the block entity now render, if in somewhat buggy fashion, as the texture is in a cross shape. Click show to display all of the applicable blocks. Main article: Flower Pot/1.8 development gallery/14w06a [edit]
							Potted cacti now appear as a cross formed of their bottom texture inside of a pot.[5]
			14w06b				Further blocks now render in flower pots than did in the previous snapshot. Click show to display all of the applicable blocks. Main article: Flower Pot/1.8 development gallery/14w06b [edit]
							The accidental potted cactus model change has been reverted.
			14w07a				The newly added iron trapdoor also renders in flower pots when created with commands.
			14w17a				The flower pot model and rendering has changed. The insides are now subject to directional shading, rather than being fully lit, much like the changes made to hoppers and cauldrons in 14w10a. In addition, the outer face (as well as the cuboids comprising the cactus in potted cactus) are no longer subject to ambient occlusion. The potted cactus also now uses the side texture on the top face, rather than the top texture.
							Invalid blocks no longer render inside flower pots. This also includes cobweb and grass.
			14w25a				Potted cross shaped objects are now affected by directional shading.[6]
			14w26a				The flower pot generated in the window of witch huts is now empty.[7]
1.9			15w43a				A potted cactus can now be found on a table in igloo basements.
1.11			16w39a				Potted plants can now be removed from flower pots by pressing use.
							Flower pots now generate in woodland mansions.
1.13			17w47a				The flower pot in the window of witch huts now once again has a red mushroom inside.
1.14			18w43a				The textures of flower pots and their contained plants have been changed.
							Cornflower, lily of the valley, wither rose and bamboo can now be placed in flower pots.
			18w44a				The texture of potted cacti has been changed.
			18w47b				The texture of potted poppies has been changed.
			18w49a				Flower pots can now be found in chests in village mason houses.
			19w11a				Flower pots have become renewable, as mason villagers now sell bricks.
1.16			20w06a				The model of flower pots has been fixed and has been given an underside, which has changed the model from to .
			20w09a				Crimson and warped fungi, and crimson and warped roots can now be placed in flower pots.
							The model for potted plants has been fixed, so the bottom face now renders,[8] which has changed the model from to .
			20w11a				An unneeded face has been removed from potted bamboo to solve a z-fighting issue.[9]
			pre3				The model of the potted cacti has been changed. The top face now uses the top texture of cactus, rather than the side texture and the bottom face has been changed to the top texture of the flower pot.
1.16.2			20w28a				The model of the potted cactus no longer has a hole in the bottom, although the texture is stretched.
1.17			pre1				Azalea and flowering azalea can now be placed in flower pots.
							Potted flowering azalea has its own unused plant texture but uses the normal variant for consistency with non-potted flowering azaleas:
1.19			22w11a				Mangrove propagules can now be placed in flower pots.
			22w18a				The western element of the flower pot in potted mangrove propagules has been deleted.[10]
			pre1				The aforementioned western element has been restored.[10]
1.19.4 Experiment Update 1.20			23w07a				Torchflowers and cherry saplings can now be placed in flower pots.
			pre2				Changed the texture of potted cherry saplings.​

							Flower pots can now be found in suspicious gravel and suspicious sand in trail ruins.
			23w13a				Flowering azalea now uses its own plant texture, changing appearance from to and breaking consistency with non-potted flowering azaleas.[11]
			23w16a				Flower pots no longer generate in suspicious sand in trail ruins.
							Due to the split of the archaeological loot tables for the suspicious gravel within the trail ruins; flower pots are now in the common loot.
1.20.3 Experiment Update 1.21			23w45a				Potted dead bushes can now generate in trial chambers.
1.21.2			24w33a				Cross-models in flower pots (such as saplings or flowers, but excluding mangrove propagules as they use a separate model) are no longer subject to directional shading.[6]
1.21.2 Experiment Winter Drop			24w40a				Added potted pale oak saplings.
1.21.4			24w44a				Added potted eyeblossoms.
			24w45a				The shading of potted open eyeblossoms has been fixed.[12]
26.1			snap5				Added potted golden dandelions.
26.3			snap1				Added potted poplar saplings.

Trivia

• The flower pot is based on a suggestion from Reddit, like ender chests and item frames.^[13]
• If a plant that has been named is put in a flower pot, the plant loses its name.
• The inside of the flower pot in Java Edition uses the center 4×4 pixels of the dirt texture, while Bedrock Edition uses the center 6×6.
