A torchflower is an ancient[1] flower obtained from harvesting torchflower seeds. It can be crafted into orange dye.

Obtaining

Torchflowers do not generate naturally and are obtained by growing a torchflower seed. Torchflower seeds can be obtained by using a sniffer to dig them up. Breaking a fully grown torchflower crop drops one torchflower. Unlike the other tall flowers, it is not possible to duplicate torchflowers by applying bone meal on them.

Breaking

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

A torchflower 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.

Mob loot

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

Usage

Like most flowers, torchflowers 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.

Torchflowers can also be placed in flower pots.
