Torchflower seeds are ancient[1] seeds that have a chance to be dropped by sniffers when they finish digging. It is the seed of torchflowers.
Obtaining
Sniffers occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, there is a 50% chance for one torchflower seed to be dropped as an item(the other 50% chance is for a pitcher pod).
Sniffers can dig for torchflower seeds in the following blocks:
They cannot dig for torchflower seeds on mycelium, which is intended.[2]

Usage
Crop
Torchflower seeds can be placed on farmland, where they grow through three stages. Breaking the torchflower crop before it matures drops the seed, while breaking the final stage produces one torchflower and does not yield the seed.
Crops break if pushed by a piston or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.
Farmer villagers can plant torchflower seeds, but cannot harvest them after they have fully grown.[3]
Feeding
Torchflower seeds can be used to breed sniffers and chickens and reduce the remaining growth duration of snifflets and chicks by 10%. in Bedrock Edition, feeding a sniffer a torchflower seed heals it by 2HP health points each time.
Taming
Torchflower seeds can be used to tame parrots.
Composting
Placing torchflower seeds into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trivia
- The final growth stage of the torchflower crop uses the same ID as the actual torchflower. This causes some side effects, such as the plant becoming offset and randomly jumping to the side.[5]
