Where Can Potted Oxeye Daisies Be Found?

Potted Oxeye Daisies do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To create one, place a Flower Pot on a solid block and then right-click it with an Oxeye Daisy. Oxeye Daisies naturally generate in Plains, Flower Forests, and Meadow biomes, often appearing scattered among other wildflowers. Players can also obtain them by using Bone Meal on Grass Blocks in these biomes. Flower Pots, required for crafting, are made using three Bricks, which are obtained by smelting Clay Balls in a Furnace.

What Can Players Do with a Potted Oxeye Daisy?

Potted Oxeye Daisies are purely decorative, adding a fresh and calming feel to various builds. Their white petals and yellow center make them ideal for:

• Cottagecore and medieval-style builds, enhancing the cozy, natural atmosphere.
• Peaceful gardens and meadows, where they blend well with other flowers.
• Hospitals or clean, bright interiors, as white flowers symbolize purity and healing.

Oxeye Daisies can also be used to craft Light Gray Dye, which is useful for coloring wool, beds, banners, and glass. However, once placed in a pot, the Oxeye Daisy functions solely as a decorative item.
