Overview
Blue Orchid is a plant block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is used to craft Light Blue Dye and Suspicious Stew.
