Contents
Natural generation[edit]
Flower pots naturally generate in witch huts where they contain a red mushroom, the basement of igloos where they contain a cactus and in woodland mansions, where they contain birch saplings, dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies.
Flower pots containing an azure bluet can be found in some plains village houses. Flower pots containing a dandelion can be found in some savanna village houses. Flower pots containing a cactus or a dead bush can be found in some desert village houses. Flower pot containing spruce sapling can be found in taiga village mason houses.
Obtaining[edit]
Flower pots can be mined using any tool or without a tool.
A flower pot will also drop itself as an item (any plant or mushroom in it separately) when pushed by a piston or washed away with water.
Chest loot[edit]
Flower pots can be found in 20.8% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.

Usage[edit]
A flower pot can be used to hold mushrooms and various plants. Plants that can be placed in a pot include any one block high flowers, saplings, ferns, dead bushes, cacti and bamboo.
Flower pots can be placed against any surface in Java Edition.
In Bedrock Edition, they must be placed on top of a full-block top surface, or the top of a fence, stone wall or hopper. They cannot be placed on slabs and stairs unless those blocks are upside-down.
Flower pots are 3⁄8 of a block high and can be stepped on. It is not possible to walk from the top of a flower pot onto a full sized block without jumping. It is possible to jump from a flower pot onto a fence.
The plant or mushroom can be removed from the flower pot by pressing the use control.[Java and Legacy Console editions only]
