2. Break the Dandelion Flower
The game control to break the dandelion flower depends on the version of Minecraft:

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

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.
