Poppy

Poppies, with their striking red petals, have taken the place of the original "rose" and cyan flowers in earlier versions of Minecraft. Any existing flowers in your world were automatically converted to poppies. These charming flowers naturally spawn in various biomes and can also be obtained from Iron Golems, who sometimes gift them to village children.
Their primary function is crafting red dye, which is versatile for recoloring banners, beds, wool, sheep, and even tamed wolf collars.
Dandelion

Dandelions, boasting vibrant yellow blooms, thrive in most biomes except swamps and ice plains. They are commonly found in flower forests and serve as the main source of yellow dye. While dandelions yield one unit of dye, sunflowers produce two. These cheerful flowers are perfect for adding a splash of color to banners, wool, and various decorative elements.
Allium

Alliums are striking purple blooms that naturally grow in flower forest biomes. They are primarily used to create magenta dye, essential for recoloring mobs and crafting aesthetically pleasing blocks such as magenta stained glass, terracotta, and wool. These exquisite flowers enhance any garden or architectural design.
Rose Bush

Rose bushes are tall, red-flowered plants found in various forested biomes. Alongside lilacs and sunflowers, they are among Minecraft's rare two-block-high flowers. When harvested, they produce red dye, widely used for dyeing wool, banners, beds, leather armor, and more. Unlike the perilous wither rose, the rose bush is purely ornamental and functional, making it a safe yet striking addition to any landscape.
Wither Rose

The wither rose is a rare and ominous flower that doesn't grow naturally but appears when a mob is killed by the Wither or is occasionally found in the Nether. Stepping on a wither rose inflicts the Wither effect, which slowly drains health and poses a deadly threat to unsuspecting players. This effect can be counteracted by drinking milk.
Wither roses are used to craft black dye, which is utilized for recoloring leather armor, terracotta, banners, beds, and wool. They also contribute to crafting firework stars and black concrete powder, making them a unique but hazardous resource.
Peony Bush

Peony bushes are tall, pink-flowering plants that thrive in woodland biomes. These beautiful flowers can be converted into pink dye by placing them on a crafting table or mixing red and white dye. Players can propagate peonies using bone meal, allowing for endless cultivation.
Pink dye is useful for recoloring wool, stained glass, terracotta, and tamed wolf collars. Additionally, applying bone meal to grassy areas in specific biomes can result in pink blooms, expanding decorative options.
Lily of the Valley

The Lily of the Valley is a pure, bell-shaped flower found in forest and flower forest biomes. It can be transformed into white dye, used for recoloring wool, banners, beds, terracotta, and tamed wolf collars.
Beyond its primary use, white dye is essential for creating secondary dyes such as gray, light gray, light blue, lime, magenta, and pink. These versatile flowers often sprout on grass blocks in suitable biomes, making them an easily accessible resource.

These tall flowers, which face east to follow the sunrise, are excellent for navigation. They grow in the sunflower plains biome and can be used to create yellow dye.
