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.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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 due to lack of grass blocks in these biomes.

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

Post-generation[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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

Trading[edit | edit source]

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

Usage[edit | edit source]

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.

Suspicious stew[edit | edit source]

Using tulips to make suspicious stew, whether by direct crafting or by feeding a brown mooshroom and then milking it with a bowl, imbues it with a Weakness effect that lasts 9 seconds in Java Edition and 7 seconds in Bedrock Edition.

Bees[edit | edit source]

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

Breeding[edit | edit source]

Tulips can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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.
