Tulips are a kind of flower found in plains and flower forests that come in multiple colored variants: red, orange, white, and pink. They yield dyes of their respective colors, with the exception of white tulips, which yield light gray dye, and all of them are used to craft suspicious stew.

Obtaining

Breaking

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

A tulip 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

Main article: Flower § Flower gradients
Tulip/Non-tulip gradient in plains

Tulips of any color generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in plains and sunflower plains, exclusively in rare tulip-only areas. All kinds of tulips also generate in flower forest biomes as part of the gradient. In Java Edition, tulips are also technically capable of growing in dripstone caves and deep dark biomes, though it is very unlikely because grass blocks are rare in these biomes.

Potted red and white tulips can also be found in woodland mansions.

All kinds of tulips can generate as part of abandoned camps in flower forests.

Post-generation

Main article: Flower § Post-generation

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, and flower forest biome (as well as dripstone caves and deep dark biomes in Java Edition), tulips have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area in Java Edition, or a 7×5×7 area in Bedrock Edition. In flower forests, whether a tulip can generate and the specific color depend on the flower gradient. In plains and sunflower plains (as well as dripstone cave and deep dark in Java Edition), tulips of any color can generate exclusively in tulip-only areas.

In Bedrock Edition, when bone meal is applied to a tulip in any biome, more tulips of the same color 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 tulips, 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 tulip when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell a tulip of any color for 1 emerald.

Usage

Main article: Flower § Usage

Like other flowers, tulips 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.

Tulips can also be placed inside flower pots.

Bees

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

Breeding

Tulips 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 tulip have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Composting

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