A torchflower is an ancient^[1] flower obtained from harvesting torchflower seeds. It can be crafted into orange dye.

Torchflowers do not generate naturally; they are obtained by breaking a fully grown torchflower crop.

Unlike with other one-block-tall flowers, players cannot spread torchflowers on top of nearby grass blocks by applying bone meal on a torchflower.

A torchflower can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A torchflower also breaks if water or lava runs over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

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

Like most flowers, torchflowers 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.

Torchflowers can also be placed in flower pots.

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

Torchflowers can be used to breed, grow, and lead bees.

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

Placing a torchflower into a composter has an 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
