Oxeye Daisy

An oxeye daisy^[a] is a flower that can be crafted into light gray dye, suspicious stew, and flower charge banner patterns.

An oxeye daisy can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

An oxeye daisy also breaks if water or lava flows over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

Oxeye daisies generate naturally on dirt and grass blocks in plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, and meadow biomes as part of vegetation features. In Java Edition, they are also technically capable of spawning in dripstone caves and deep dark biomes, though it is very unlikely due to the lack of grass blocks in these biomes. In flower forests and meadows, oxeye daisies only generate as part of flower gradients.

Natural oxeye daisies are found in plains villages. Potted oxeye daisies can be generated in woodland mansions.

Oxeye daisies are also found in abandoned camps. ​^[upcoming]

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, flower forest, meadow, dripstone caves, or deep dark biome, oxeye daisies have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 15×5×15 area. In meadows and flower forests, oxeye daisies can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains, sunflower plains, dripstone caves, and the deep dark, oxeye daisies cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to a grass block in a plains, sunflower plains, or flower forest biome, oxeye daisies have a chance of generating on the targeted block and adjacent grass blocks in a 7×5×7 area. In flower forests, oxeye daisies can generate only in specific locations depending on the flower gradient. In plains and sunflower plains, oxeye daisies cannot generate in tulip-only areas.

When bone meal is applied to an oxeye daisy in any biome, more oxeye daisies appear on top of nearby grass blocks. The flowers can appear up to 3 blocks away from the original, forming a 7×7 square.

In Java Edition, endermen can pick up oxeye daisies, like any other one-block-tall flower, and drop it if killed while holding it.

In Bedrock Edition, wandering traders have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of Looting) to drop 1 oxeye daisy when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an emerald.

Wandering traders may sell an oxeye daisy for 1 emerald.

Like other flowers, oxeye daisies can be used as decoration and planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots.

Oxeye daisies can also be placed in flower pots.

Suspicious stew that is created using an oxeye daisy imparts the Regeneration effect for 7 seconds, restoring 2HP. It can be crafted using an oxeye daisy or produced by feeding an oxeye daisy to a brown mooshroom and then milking it with a bowl.

Bees engage in a pollinating behavior with oxeye daisies, increasing the honey level in beehives and bee nests by 1.

Oxeye daisies can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of an oxeye daisy have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.

Placing an oxeye daisy into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of oxeye daisies yields an average of 5.94 bone meal.
