Wildflowers are a thin decorative flower that can be placed four times in the space of one block, similar to pink petals and leaf litter.
Obtaining
Breaking
Wildflowers can be broken instantly with any item or by hand.
| Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 0 | |
| Breaking time (secs) | ||
| Default | 0.05 | |
- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
Wildflowers are also removed and drop as an item if:
- its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed.
- water or lava flows into its space.
- a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space.
- it is placed on a mud block, and that mud block converts to clay.
The amount of wildflower items dropped is equal to how many were present in the block space beforehand (i.e. a wildflower block with 3 placed will drop 3 wildflowers when destroyed).
Natural generation

Wildflowers generate naturally in birch forests, old growth birch forests and meadows. Naturally generated wildflowers have a random number of flowers.
Post-generation
Each time bone meal is applied to wildflowers, they drop a copy of themselves, similar to tall flowers.
Wildflowers also generate when bone meal is applied to a grass block in birch forests, old growth birch forests and meadows.
Trading
Wandering traders sometimes sell wildflowers for 1 emerald each.
Usage
Up to four pieces of wildflowers can be placed in a single block space.

Bee nests
Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of wildflowers have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest containing 2-3 bees.
Composting
Placing wildflowers into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
