A flower pot is a decorative block that can contain flowers, bamboo, saplings, cacti, mushrooms, fungi, and other reasonably small plants.

Obtaining

Natural generation

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, dark oak saplings, dandelions, poppies, blue orchids, alliums, azure bluets, red and white tulips, and oxeye daisies.

Flower pots containing a dandelion can be found in some plains and savanna village houses. Flower pots containing a cactus or a dead bush can be found in some desert village houses. Flower pots containing a spruce sapling can be found in taiga village mason houses. Flower pots containing a poppy can be found in taiga village churches.

Breaking

Flower pots can be mined instantly using any tool or without a tool.

A flower pot drops itself as an item (any plant or mushroom in it separately) when pushed by a piston or washed away with water.

Lava can flow into the space of a flower pot, destroying it.

Usage

A flower pot can be used to hold mushrooms, fungi, and various plants. Plants that can be placed in a pot include any one block high flowers, saplings, ferns, dead bushes, cacti, bamboo, azaleas, mangrove propagule, and roots.

Plants can be removed by using the interact button.

In Java Edition, flower pots can be placed on any block, or over air.

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. Pots may also be placed on an upward facing trapdoor. If the trapdoor is opened, the pot will break.

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 fungus can be removed from the flower pot by pressing the use control. This places the item directly back into the player's inventory.

They can be used to display cacti and wither roses without inheriting their damaging properties.

Potted warped fungus can be used to repel hoglins.

History

August 16, 2012					Dinnerbone tweeted the first image of flower pots.
Java Edition
1.4.2		12w34a			Added flower pots.
					At this point, plants inside of pots rendered much like they do outside of flower pots, not being subject to directional shading.
		12w40a			A potted red mushroom can now be found on one window of a witch hut. This changed to an empty pot in a far later unknown version, but returned again afterward.
1.7.2		13w36a			Allium, azure bluet, oxeye daisies, blue orchids, red tulips, orange tulips, white tulips and pink tulips can now be placed in flower pots.
					As the rose has been replaced with the poppy, the potted rose is also now replaced with the potted poppy as a result.
					Flower pots can no longer use data values because more than 15 plants can be potted, it now has a block entity instead.
					Due to the tile entity handling, it is now possible to place any block inside of a flower pot via NBT editors. However, at this point, with the ones possible in vanilla survival aside, only grass, green shrubs, and cobwebs actually render.
					Potted grass now exists can be placed in flower pots using commands.
					Potted shrubs, grass, and ferns must now have block data value 11 to display biome colors, otherwise rendering as default/gray.
		13w37a			Added /setblock, allowing for the aforementioned potted plants to be obtained without map editing.
		13w43a			Acacia sapling and dark oak saplings can now be placed in flower pots.
1.8		14w06a			Many more blocks (almost all full cubes) placed into a flower pot by modifying the block entity now render, if in somewhat buggy fashion, as the texture is in a cross shape. Click show to display all of the applicable blocks. Main article: Flower Pot/1.8 development gallery/14w06a [edit]
					Potted cacti now appear as a cross formed of their bottom texture inside of a pot.
		14w06b			Further blocks now render in flower pots than did in the previous snapshot. Click show to display all of the applicable blocks. Main article: Flower Pot/1.8 development gallery/14w06b [edit]
					The accidental potted cactus model change has been reverted.
		14w07a			The newly added iron trapdoor also renders in flower pots when created with commands.
		14w17a			The flower pot model and rendering has changed. The insides are now subject to directional shading, rather than being fully lit, much like the changes made to hoppers and cauldrons in 14w10a. In addition, the outer face (as well as the cuboids comprising the cactus in potted cactus) are no longer subject to ambient occlusion. The potted cactus also now uses the side texture on the top face, rather than the top texture.
					Invalid blocks no longer render inside flower pots. This also includes cobweb and grass.
		14w25a			Potted cross shaped objects are now affected by directional shading.
1.9		15w43a			A potted cactus can now be found on a table in igloo basements.
1.11		16w32a			The block entity ID of flower pots has been changed from FlowerPot to flower_pot.
		16w39a			Potted plants can now be removed from flower pots by pressing use.
					Flower pots now generate in woodland mansions.
1.13		17w47a			The different block states for the flower_pot ID have been split up into their own IDs.
					Flower pots are no longer block entities.
					Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 140, and the item's was 390.
1.14		18w43a			The textures of flower pots and their contained plants have been changed.
					Cornflower, lily of the valley, wither rose and bamboo can now be placed in flower pots.
		18w44a			The texture of potted cacti has been changed.
		18w47b			The texture of potted poppies has been changed.
		18w49a			Flower pots can now be found in chests in village mason houses.
		19w11a			Flower pots have become renewable, as mason villagers now sell bricks.
1.16		20w06a			The model of flower pots has been fixed and has been given an underside, which has changed the model from to .
		20w09a			Crimson and warped fungi and crimson and warped roots can now be placed in flower pots.
					The model for potted plants has been fixed, so the bottom face now renders, which has changed the model from to .
		20w11a			An unneeded face has been removed from potted bamboo to solve a z-fighting issue.
		Pre-release 3			The model of the potted cacti has been changed. The top face now uses the top texture of cactus, rather than the side texture and the bottom face has been changed to the top texture of the flower pot.
1.16.2		20w28a			The model of the potted cactus no longer has a hole in the bottom, although the texture is stretched.
1.17		Pre-release 1			Azalea and flowering azalea can now be placed in flower pots.
					Potted flowering azalea has own unused plant texture but uses normal variant for consistency with flowering azalea:
1.19		22w11a			Mangrove propagules can now be placed in flower pots.
		22w18a			The western element of the flower pot in potted mangrove propagules has been deleted.
		Pre-release 1			The aforementioned western element has been restored.
1.20 (Experimental)		23w07a			Torchflowers and cherry saplings can now be placed in flower pots.
		1.19.4-pre2			Changed the texture of potted cherry saplings.
1.20		23w12a			Potted torchflower and cherry sapling are now available without using the "Update 1.20" experimental datapack.
					Flower pot can now be found in suspicious gravel and suspicious sand in trail ruins.
		23w13a			Flowering azalea now uses own plant texture, changing appearance from to and breaking consistency with flowering azalea.
		23w16a			Flower pot no longer generates in suspicious sand in trail ruins.
					Due to the split of the archaeological loot tables for the suspicious gravel within the trail ruins; flower pot now is in the common loot.
