Minecrafthas a number of different items that players can use to decorate their homes and bases. With so many items and recipes, though, it is easy for even long-time players to forget some of the recipes for the decorations they need.
The Flower Pot is a prime example of a great item that may slip out of mind because it isn’t needed for survival. For those players looking to create and use a flower pot inMinecraft, this guide can help.

How to Craft a Flower Pot in Minecraft
It may come as a surprise to some players, but the flower pot is an item that can be crafted. The recipe requires just three bricks to create but requires players to have both a crafting table and a furnace. to create these bricks, players have to first gather clay balls. Clay balls drop from clay blocks, and these spawn underwater in swamps, beaches, oceans, and at the bottoms of rivers and lakes. These clay blocks are commonly used to create terracotta,one of the better building blocks inMinecraft.
Clay blocks can also be broken down with any tool and will yield 4 clay balls. These can then be brought to a furnace and smelted into the bricks required for this recipe. Bringing three bricks to a crafting table will bring up the flower pot recipe.

Where do Flower Pots Generate?
For those players looking to skip the crafting and just gather examples of this item, the flower pot naturally generates in a few places. By far the most dangerous of these locations is the woodland mansion. These woodland mansions have been a challenge since they wereadded toMinecrafthalf a decade ago, but they can provide a bunch of these flower pots.
Other than this, flower pots generate in witch huts inMinecraft’s Swamp biomewith a red mushroom, in the basement of igloos with a cactus, and in plains, savanna, desert, and taiga villages as well. Flower pots can be mined with or without tools, and the pot will drop itself along with the item within it.
What Are The Uses of Flower Pots in Minecraft?
Flower pots can be used to hold mushrooms, fungi, and a wide variety of other plants inMinecraft. This list includes saplings of trees, cacti, bamboo, and even dead bushes. In the Java Edition ofMinecraft, flower pots can be placed on any block or over air, but in the Bedrock Edition, there are some restrictions.
Flower pots in this edition must be placed on top of a full block top surface, or on the top of a fence, stone wall, or hopper. The final product is a great compliment to a player’s home and works well as a decoration, justlike paintings inMinecraft.
