In Minecraft, you can add a blue orchid to your inventory in Survival mode by finding blue orchids growing in the Swamp biome and gathering them. So, let's get started!
1. Find a Blue Orchid Flower
First, you need to find a blue orchid flower in your Minecraft world. Blue orchids are usually found in the Swamp biome.
This is what a blue orchid looks like:
2. Break the Blue Orchid Flower
The game control to break the blue orchid flower depends on the version of Minecraft:

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

Make sure you pick up the blue orchid before it disappears.
Once you pick up the blue orchid, it will appear in your hotbar.
Blue orchids are useful items and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
