With the recent Winter Update, Minecraft introduces a captivating new floral variety known as Eyeblossoms. These flowers not only bring beauty to the game world with their unique appearances – featuring both Closed and Open types – but they also offer players fresh opportunities for gameplay. This comprehensive guide will equip you with everything you need to know about Eyeblossoms in Minecraft.
Finding Eyeblossoms in Minecraft
Eyeblossoms can exclusively be found in the Pale Garden biome, typically situated adjacent to Dark Forests. For players navigating the sprawling landscapes of Minecraft, the Pale Garden is crucial for harvesting these flowers. If you’re unsure of where to locate this biome, refer to our detailed guide for navigational tips.
Once inside the Pale Garden, explore this eerie biome where Eyeblossoms flourish. During the day, the flowers can be recognized by their closed grey petals. A nighttime visit reveals their vibrant transformation, showcasing an eye-catching orange eye at the center. This makes them much easier to spot under the cover of darkness.
Additionally, players can utilize bone meal on grass blocks within this biome to encourage Eyeblossoms to grow. Once these flowers bloom at night, they don’t emit light but can be distinguished by their bright orange center, adding an intriguing dynamic to exploration.
Collecting Eyeblossoms in Minecraft
To effectively gather Eyeblossoms, consider exploring during nighttime when their distinguishing features are most visible. After locating either wildflowers or those cultivated with bone meal, you can collect Eyeblossoms simply by breaking them with your hand.
If you prefer a more automated approach, consider setting up an AFK farm. You can employ mechanisms such as pistons directed toward the flowers, which will cause them to drop when triggered. Similarly, using flowing water can effectively break Eyeblossoms and collect them without manual intervention.
Furthermore, keep an eye out for a Wandering Trader, who may offer you Open Eyeblossoms for one emerald each, although Closed Eyeblossoms are not available through this merchant.
Utilizing Eyeblossoms in Minecraft
Once you’ve gathered a satisfactory quantity of Eyeblossoms, there are several creative and functional uses for them in the game. Here are the key applications:
1. Crafting Suspicious Stews
Suspicious stews created from Eyeblossoms present a unique element of surprise, as their effects are not immediately known. To craft one, gather the following ingredients: a bowl, a red mushroom, a brown mushroom, and either a Closed or Open Eyeblossom. Arrange them in your crafting table as follows:
- Bowl in the leftmost bottom corner.
- Red mushroom above the bowl.
- Brown mushroom to the right of the red mushroom.
- Closed or Open Eyeblossom directly below the red mushroom.
In our gameplay experiments, we discovered that the Closed Eyeblossom stew induces a Nausea effect, while the Open variant causes blindness. Experimenting with these stews can yield unpredictable and interesting results.
2. Crafting Dyes
Eyeblossoms also serve as vibrant sources of dye. To create colors, open your crafting table and place the Closed Eyeblossom on any crafting grid square to obtain Gray dye, and the Open Eyeblossom for Orange dye. This dye can then be used to color a wide range of items, including wool, carpets, beds, and banners.
3. Composter Applications
Lastly, Eyeblossoms can be deposited into a Composter, providing a 65% chance of advancing its fill level by one. The primary function of the Composter is to produce bone meal once filled, or it can be used to create a farming workstation for villagers.
In conclusion, Eyeblossoms bring a delightful addition to the Minecraft universe, with diverse functionalities and creative possibilities.
