Poppy

A poppy is a red flower that can be crafted into red dye and suspicious stew.

Obtaining

Breaking

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

A poppy 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

Poppies generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in the following biomes as part of vegetation features:

The following additional biomes are also technically allowed to generate poppies, although they very rarely or never generate grass blocks on the surface in normal worlds. As a result, poppies can generate only in edge cases or custom worlds.

In jungles, bamboo jungles, sparse jungles, savannas and savanna plateaus, poppies are twice as common as in other biomes. In flower forests and meadows, poppies only generate as part of gradients.

Natural poppies are found in plains, savanna, and taiga villages, as well as snowy villages in Bedrock Edition. Potted poppies can also generate in woodland mansions.

Post-generation

Java Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in one of the biomes listed above (except those marked as ‌), poppies have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area. In meadows and flower forests, poppies can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains, sunflower plains, dripstone caves, and the deep dark, poppies cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

Bedrock Edition

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in any biome except forest, birch forest, old growth birch forest, dark forest, swamp, and pale garden, poppies have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 7×5×7 area. In flower forests, poppies can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. Unlike Java Edition, bone meal can generate poppies anywhere within a meadow biome. In plains and sunflower plains; poppies cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to a poppy in any biome, more poppies appear on top of nearby grass blocks. Dandelions can also occasionally appear, and poppies can occasionally appear when bone meal is applied to dandelions. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

Mob loot

Iron golems drop 0-2 poppies upon death. This is unaffected by the Looting enchantment.

Endermen can pick up poppies, like any other one-block-tall flower, and drop it if killed while holding it.

In Java Edition, baby villagers may give a poppy to players with the Hero of the Village effect.

Trading

Wandering traders may sell a poppy for a single emerald.

Usage

Like other flowers, poppies 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.

Poppies can also be placed in flower pots.

Bees

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

Breeding

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

Composting

Placing a poppy into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of poppies (64) yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.
