How to Craft an Empty Pollen Jar and Collect Pollen from a Flower

Every hybrid flower starts with pollen, and you need an Empty Pollen Jar to collect it.

Craft the jar

The Empty Pollen Jar is made from standard materials.

1. Open a crafting table.

2. Look up the Empty Pollen Jar in your recipe book. If you have a recipe viewer mod installed, search for it there instead.

3. Gather the listed materials and craft the jar.

You may want to craft a few jars so you can sample several flowers without walking back to the crafting table.

Collect pollen

1. Find a standard flower. Wild flowers in a meadow or a flower you planted yourself both work.

2. Hold the Empty Pollen Jar in your main hand.

3. Right-click the flower. The jar fills with that flower's pollen.

The jar now carries pollen from that specific bloom. That matters because the flower you sampled is half of the pair that decides which hybrid you get.

Tips

• Plant the flowers you sample often in one spot near your base. This saves trips into the wild every time you want a new hybrid.
• Rename or sort your filled jars in a chest if you collect from many flowers. This helps you remember which pollen came from which bloom.
• Once a jar is filled, go to the next guide to turn it into seeds.
