Minecraft Torchflowers, explained
The Torchflower is a new plant that will make its way into Minecraft in the 1.20 update. It sports a vibrant appearance compared to other plants in the game, with purple leaves, a green stem, and an orange/red bulb reminiscent of a fire, which seems appropriate given the name.
How to get Torchflower in Minecraft
To get the Torchflower, you’ll need to find its seeds, which can only be found by the new fan-voted mob, the Sniffer, which will also be coming in the 1.20 update. This creature will sniff out and dig up ancient seeds like the Torchflower, which can then be grown like any other flower by placing them near water and leaving them to grow. Sniffers won’t appear in your world by default and must be hatched from their Sniffer egg, which can be found by searching suspicious sand with an archeology brush. Once they hatch, they start as a Sniffet and eventually grow into the fully-fledged Sniffer, who can hunt for seeds.
