A spore blossom is a ceiling-hanging decorative block that generates in lush caves and emits green particles.

Obtaining

Breaking

Spore blossoms can be broken instantly with any item or by hand. Harvesting a spore blossom with shears consumes the durability of the shears for no additional benefit.

Natural generation

Spore blossoms can be found only on the ceilings of lush caves.

Usage

Spore blossoms can be placed only on the underside of any block except leaves.

They emit two kinds of particles: one falling straight downwards, disappearing after falling up to 70 blocks; the other spawn within a 21x12x21 area extending downwards from the block, floating around in the air, spreading further away as they slowly fall down.

Bees

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

Breeding

Spore blossoms can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

Bee nests

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

Composting

Spore blossoms can be put into a composter with a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Particles

Green particles float around spore blossoms.
