How to get a Sunflower in Survival Mode
You can add a sunflower to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a sunflower and gathering it. So, let’s get started!
1. Find a Sunflower Plant
First, you need to find a sunflower in the game.
2. Break the Sunflower Plant
The game control to break the sunflower 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 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 sunflower plant will break and a smaller sunflower will float on the ground.
3. Pick up the Sunflower
Make sure you pick up the sunflower before it disappears.
Once you pick up the sunflower, it will appear in your hotbar.
Sunflowers are useful items and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
