The Caves and Cliffs update in Minecraft added several new biomes for players to explore. One of these biomes is the lush cave, which contains several rare florae that can't be found anywhere else. Inside this cave, you will find the spore blossom; a pink flower growing upside down.
Spore blossoms are a beautiful block that can be used to step up your base-decorating game. In this guide, you will learn all there is to know about this unique flower. First, let's take a look at how to find the lush cave biome.
Finding A Lush Cave
Lush caves are an uncommon biome that can be found underground at any level. In this biome, you can also find dripleaves, moss, and azaleas.
To find a lush cave, you just need to go mining for a bit. Eventually, you will come across this biome; a clear indication that you are in a lush cave is the presence of cave vines and glow berries.
If you are looking for this biome in creative mode, you can type the following.
- /locatebiome minecraft:lush_caves
Doing so will display the location of the closest lush cave biome that you can teleport, walk, or fly to.
Harvesting Spore Blossoms
Spore Blossoms naturally generate from the ceiling of lush caves, as shown in the image above.
To harvest this flower, you can use your hand or any tool. Regardless of what you use, the spore blossom will instantly break and drop for you to pick up. There are no other ways to obtain spore blossoms, so to harvest one, you will need to venture into a lush cave.
Placing Spore Blossoms
Spore blossoms can only be placed on the underside of blocks. If you try to place the flower upwards, it will not attach to the block. Additionally, the spore blossom can attach to every type of block except for leaves.
What Do Spore Blossoms Do?
Overall, the spore blossom is a decorative block. You cannot craft with the flower or use it in any recipe.
Instead, you can use spore blossoms as decoration around your base. This flower emits particles that fall straight down, as well as particles that float in the air. With spore blossoms placed around your base, you can create an ambient and relaxing mood.
It's important to remember that spore blossoms are not renewable. There is no way to grow this flower, so if you destroy the spore blossoms around you, they will not reappear.
That's all there is to know about spore blossoms. Next time you are in a lush cave, don't forget to gather this flower!
