How to Craft a Flower Pot in Minecraft
It may come as a surprise to some players, but the flower pot is an item that can be crafted. The recipe requires just three bricks to create but requires players to have both a crafting table and a furnace. In order to create these bricks, players have to first gather clay balls. Clay balls drop from clay blocks, and these spawn underwater in swamps, beaches, oceans, and at the bottoms of rivers and lakes. These clay blocks are commonly used to create terracotta, one of the better building blocks in Minecraft.
Clay blocks can also be broken down with any tool and will yield 4 clay balls. These can then be brought to a furnace and smelted into the bricks required for this recipe. Bringing three bricks to a crafting table will bring up the flower pot recipe.
Where do Flower Pots Generate?
For those players looking to skip the crafting and just gather examples of this item, the flower pot naturally generates in a few places. By far the most dangerous of these locations is the woodland mansion. These woodland mansions have been a challenge since they were added to Minecraft half a decade ago, but they can provide a bunch of these flower pots.
Other than this, flower pots generate in witch huts in Minecraft’s Swamp biome with a red mushroom, in the basement of igloos with a cactus, and in plains, savanna, desert, and taiga villages as well. Flower pots can be mined with or without tools, and the pot will drop itself along with the item within it.
What Are The Uses of Flower Pots in Minecraft?
Flower pots can be used to hold mushrooms, fungi, and a wide variety of other plants in Minecraft. This list includes saplings of trees, cacti, bamboo, and even dead bushes. In the Java Edition of Minecraft, flower pots can be placed on any block or over air, but in the Bedrock Edition, there are some restrictions.
Flower pots in this edition must be placed on top of a full block top surface, or on the top of a fence, stone wall, or hopper. The final product is a great compliment to a player’s home and works well as a decoration, just like paintings in Minecraft.
Minecraft is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, Apple TV, Raspberry Pi, Wii U, and PlayStation Vita, among others.
