How to get a Chorus Flower in Survival Mode

In Minecraft, you can add a chorus flower to your inventory in Survival mode by finding chorus plants growing and then gathering the flowers from them. So, let's get started!

1. Find the End City

First, you need to go to the End dimension and head towards the End City. This is where you will find chorus plants growing.

The game control to break the chorus flower 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 Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • 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.
TIP: Be sure to break the chorus flower itself. If you break the stem of the plant first, the plant will break and drop only chorus fruit.
