5 Cool Things About the New Eyeblossom Flowers in Minecraft

The Eyeblossom flowers are the latest addition to Minecraft and are now in the main game. These flowers react differently to day and night cycles and also affect the bees. Moreover, you can make suspicious stews and colorful dyes out of these flowers. If you haven’t already experienced these new and unique flowers, then this one’s for you. After going through them ourselves, these are the coolest things we found about the Eyeblossoms in Minecraft.

1. Eyeblossoms React to Day-Night Cycle

The Eyeblossoms come in two variants – Open and Closed. If you visit the Pale Garden during the day, you will find the petals of these flowers closed, standing upright, and looking gray in color.

Whereas as soon as night falls, the flower will bloom and a glowing orange eye will appear in the middle. This is the open Eyeblossom and blooming during the night. The eye in the middle might look like a glowing orange ball, however, this flower doesn’t emit any light. Besides when you see it, there’s no denying that Eyeblossoms look super appealing to see and also kind of scary.

2. Craft Suspicious Stews

Both the varieties of the flowers produce two different kinds of stews. If you use the Open Eyeblossom, you will get a suspicious stew that gives a Blindness effect, while using the Closed one will give you a Nausea effect.

To make these stews, open up your crafting table and place a bowl at the leftmost bottom corner. Place a brown mushroom to the right of this bowl and a red one above it. Finally, place either of the flower variants just above the bowl to fill the 4×4 square and you have it.

3. Craft Colorful Dyes

Another cool fact is that you make a couple of dyes with both the open and closed versions of this flower. Placing the open Eyeblossom in the crafting table will produce an Orange dye. Whereas using the closed one will give you a Gray dye.

Now, you can use them to color your favorite sheep, give a unique colored collar to your pets, add banner patterns, dye blocks, give your signboards a new color, and many more. Furthermore, you may get the orange and gray dye in your Minecraft world by mixing yellow and red (for orange) or black and white (for gray).

4. Eyeblossoms Can Talk to Each Other!

You might have noticed that if a few Eyeblossoms within a 3-block radius exist, they will interact with each other. Consider using a bone meal on the grass in the Pale Garden to generate a few Eyeblossoms close to each other. Otherwise, pick these flowers from different regions and place them close to one another.

Simply keep observing the flowers that are really close to each other during dusk or dawn. You will notice that the moment one of the flowers notices the change in the environment, it will communicate the same to the others within its range using orange particles.

This way, if one of the flowers blooms as soon as night falls, the others will do the same thing simultaneously, as if they have formed a network. The exact opposite phenomenon occurs at dawn when the flowers close their petals as the sun goes up.

5. Bees React Differently to Eyeblossoms

Since no mobs spawn in the Pale Garden, you need to take the Eyeblossoms to a place where you can find bees. Now, placing an open Eyeblossom flower in the plains or in the meadows where there are bees nearby will do a new and unique trick. However, this trick only applies during the night since the bees don’t come near closed Eyeblossoms.

Once a bee gets attracted to and interacts with the flower, it will get poisoned. This effect will stay for 1.25 seconds, causing the bees to emit swirly green particles. Although the bees get poisoned, they can pollinate these open flowers. But, you may not breed the bees using the Eyeblossoms.
