Eyeblossom flowers bring a strange beauty to Minecraft’s Pale Garden biome, blending eerie charm with rare utility. Here’s how to find these glowing blooms, gather them safely, and put their curious properties to use.
Make your life easier by reading our all-in-one guide on the new Minecraft Eyeblossoms.
Where to Find Eyeblossoms in Minecraft
Eyeblossoms grow naturally in the Pale Garden biome, a rare and colorful area filled with soft green grass and pastel vegetation. These flowers usually appear in small clusters, often beside pools of clear water or near patches of Glowgrass. Players exploring during daytime will have an easier time spotting their bright petals against the pale surroundings. Since the biome can be hard to locate, using a seed that features a Pale Garden or exploring with Elytra can help speed up the search.
The Eyeblossom is a new type of flower exclusive to the Pale Garden biome. Most of the time, you will find this biome near the Dark Forests. If you have trouble locating the region, simply read our guide above for help.
Having located a Pale Garden biome, head inside and explore this creepy and dark region. The flowers will naturally spawn on the biome’s surface. You can easily identify them by looking at the closed grey-colored petals if you are exploring the forest during the daytime. If you choose to come during the night, the flowers will bloom, revealing an orange-colored eye in the middle.
Alternatively, you can use bone meal on the grass to have a chance at producing Eyeblossoms manually. Once these flowers bloom at night, they won’t emit light to the surroundings. However, you will be able to spot them by their bright orange-colored eye.
How to Get Eyeblossoms in Minecraft
Eyeblossoms can be collected by exploring the Pale Garden biome, where they grow naturally among pale grass and shimmering foliage. Players can harvest them with any tool or by hand, and using shears ensures the plant stays intact. Once gathered, Eyeblossoms can be replanted on grass or dirt blocks in similar light conditions. They are not found in other biomes, so locating the Pale Garden is the key step to obtaining them.
The Eyeblossoms are easily spotted by their bright orange eyes, so it is preferable to visit the Pale Garden biome at night if you want to collect a lot of them. Once you find them or bone meal the grass blocks to produce them, you can collect the Eyeblossoms simply by breaking them with your hand.
Other methods to collect the Eyeblossoms are using a piston or a water bucket if you wish to make an AFK farm for this flower. Placing the piston in such a way that it faces the flower will make it drop once the piston is activated. Furthermore, flowing water can also break and drop the flowers if they are in their way.
Another way to get Eyeblossom flowers in the game is by finding a Wandering Trader. Sometimes, you might find that he sells a few open Eyeblossoms for one emerald each. You won’t get any of the closed ones from him.
Minecraft Eyeblossoms Uses
Eyeblossoms are rare, sunlit blooms that appear in pale garden biomes and nearby misty clearings. They open during the day and glow faintly at dusk, making them a beacon for explorers. To obtain them, search along winding paths beneath pale trees, harvest carefully with a proper shears, and keep an eye out for their distinctive pale-pink petals that shimmer when you approach. Avoid overharvesting; collect only what you need to cultivate a small, resilient patch in your own garden.
Having obtained a decent amount of Eyeblossom flowers, you can use them to make dyes and suspicious stews or use them as compost. The best uses for Eyeblossoms are:
1. Making Suspicious Stews
The Suspicious stews don’t have any effects listed once you craft them. You need to check these effects on your own. So, grab the common ingredients for making a stew, including the bowl, a red and a brown mushroom, and open up your crafting table.
Place the bowl on the leftmost bottom corner and a red mushroom on top of it. Now, place the brown mushroom on the right of the red one and a closed Eyeblossom below it. A similar recipe can be used to make another suspicious stew by replacing the closed with an Open Eyeblossom flower.
Having tested these stews in-game, we learned that the stew made from the closed Eyeblossom flower gives you a Nausea effect. Whereas using the Open one will give you a blindness effect.
2. Making Dyes
Both varieties of the Eyeblossoms are able to make two different colored dyes. Simply open up your crafting table and place a Closed Eyeblossom on any of the squares to get a Gray dye. Placing an Open Eyeblossom on one of the squares in the crafting table will produce an Orange dye. Now, you may use this dye to color your wool, carpets, beds, make banners, and so on.
3. Using in the Composter
The Eyeblossoms can be deposited in the Composter and have a 65% chance to fill it by one whole level. Now, the primary use of the Composter is to get a bone meal by completely filling it, or you may use it to make a farming workstation for a villager.
Best ways to farm Eyeblossoms in Survival mode
Eyeblossom flowers in Minecraft can be farmed efficiently in Survival mode by leveraging the Pale Garden biome’s unique generation mechanics and bone meal duplication. Automated setups yield both closed (daytime gray) and open (nighttime orange) variants for dyes or decoration.
Manual Farming
Place a single Eyeblossom on grass or dirt in the Pale Garden, then apply bone meal to spread more on nearby blocks. Harvest by hand during day or night cycles, and replant drops to repeat; this works on moss, mycelium, or podzol too. Bone meal grass blocks directly for higher yields without needing a starter flower.
Simple Auto Farm
Build in the Pale Garden: layer dispensers under grass blocks loaded with bone meal, triggered by a redstone clock or daylight sensor. Flowers pop off into hoppers for collection, producing around 150 open Eyeblossoms per bone meal stack on average. Use water streams to centralize drops, avoiding Creaking mob spawns with light levels above 0 at night.
Advanced Tips
Combine with composter for 65% fill rate per flower to sustain bone meal supply. Nighttime farms maximize open variants for orange dye; daytime prioritizes closed for gray dye. Scale up by tiling multiple grass patches, but limit to 10×10 for lag-free Survival play.
Best Pale Garden locations for Eyeblossoms in Survival
Pale Garden biomes, home to abundant Eyeblossoms, are rare overworld forest variants in Minecraft, making targeted exploration key for Survival players.
Locate Efficiently
Use the /locate biome pale_garden command (if cheats enabled) to get coordinates of the nearest one, then travel there swiftly with elytra or a boat on nearby rivers. In vanilla Survival, scout Dark Forest borders, especially near Birch Forests, Jungles, or Old Growth Taiga, as Pale Gardens spawn adjacently with matching humidity levels viewable via F3 debug screen. Chunkbase.com seed maps (enter your world seed and 1.21+ version) pinpoint multiple spots without commands.
Prime Gathering Spots
Within the biome, Eyeblossoms carpet pale grass under Pale Oak trees-prioritize open clearings or mossy ground for highest density, avoiding dense tree clusters where Creaking Hearts hide. Nighttime reveals glowing open flowers for easy spotting and collection across larger areas. Larger biomes (check via exploration) yield more; aim for those over 200×200 blocks for sustainable farming bases.
