A golden dandelion is a craftable flower that can be fed to baby animals to pause their aging, or resume it by feeding another one to the same baby mob. It does not generate naturally and can only be obtained through crafting or the wandering trader.

Obtaining

Breaking

A golden dandelion can be broken instantly with any item or by hand, dropping itself.

A golden dandelion also breaks if water or lava runs over its location, if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if a block under the plant is moved or destroyed.

Crafting

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Gold Nugget + Dandelion		​[upcoming First Drop 2026]

Trading

Wandering traders may sell 1 golden dandelion for 2 emeralds as part of their ordinary sell trades.

Usage

Like other flowers, golden dandelions can be used as decoration, placed in flower pots, and planted on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, pale moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots. Unlike other flowers however, golden dandelions cannot be composted, do not attract bees, and are not pollinated by bees.

Baby mobs

A golden dandelion can be used on a baby mob, which locks the mob's aging time to 24000 game ticks (20 minutes). The golden dandelion is consumed when used on a mob. If a second golden dandelion is used on the same mob, the mob will resume aging. The golden dandelion has a 2 second use cooldown per mob.

Golden dandelions cannot be used on baby monsters (including undead mounts and baby hoglins‌^{[JE only]}) and baby villagers.

Suspicious stew

This section describes a feature planned for Bedrock Edition.

 

It has not appeared in any development versions yet, but is planned to be included in Bedrock Edition 26.10.

Suspicious stew that is created using a golden dandelion imparts the Saturation effect for 0.35 seconds. The Saturation effect restores an additional 7 () hunger and 14 saturation. The suspicious stew can be crafted using a golden dandelion or produced by feeding a dandelion to a brown mooshroom and then milking it with a bowl.

Red Mushroom + Brown Mushroom + Bowl + Golden Dandelion

Piglins

This section describes a feature planned for Bedrock Edition.

 

It has not appeared in any development versions yet, but is planned to be included in Bedrock Edition 26.10.

Piglins run toward any golden dandelion item on the ground and inspect it for 6 seconds in Java Edition.

Bee nests

Oak, birch, and cherry trees grown from saplings planted within 2 blocks of a golden dandelion have a 5% chance to grow with a bee nest and 2-3 bees in it.
