This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a dandelion with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a dandelion is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Let’s explore how to add a dandelion to your inventory.

Where to find a Dandelion in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find a dandelion in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3 – 1.19.4
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get a Dandelion in Survival Mode

You can add a dandelion to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a dandelion flower and gathering it. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Dandelion Flower

First, you need to find a dandelion flower in the game.

2. Break the Dandelion Flower

The game control to break the dandelion flower depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the flower.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the flower.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the flower.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the flower.

The dandelion flower will break and a smaller dandelion will float on the ground.

3. Pick up the Dandelion

Make sure you pick up the dandelion before it disappears.

Once you pick up the dandelion, it will appear in your hotbar.

Dandelions are useful items and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
