The next Minecraft update will introduce baby versions of creatures, and players are loving how cute they are! Now, you can keep these baby mobs from growing up by crafting a Golden Dandelion.
As a Minecraft fan, I’m really excited about how Mojang is rolling out updates now! They’re consistently adding cool stuff – sometimes it’s things like wolf armor, other times a whole new area with a scary monster. It feels like every update is packed with features to keep things fresh, no matter what kind of world you like to play in. And honestly, ever since they teased the changes to baby mobs, the community has been buzzing about what’s coming in 2026! It’s a great time to be a Minecraft player.
As a long-time Minecraft fan, I’ve always loved how the game handles its creatures. They don’t age and die, but they do grow up, which sometimes makes those cute baby mobs feel a bit… temporary. But now, there’s a way to keep them young! They’ve added a new item called the Golden Dandelion, and it basically pauses their growth. I’m really excited to learn how to craft it and see how it works – it’s a fantastic addition to the game!
Just so you know, the Golden Dandelion isn’t available in the game right now. It’s planned to be added in a future update, and should be fully released with the first major update in 2026.
What is a Golden Dandelion?
The Golden Dandelion is a flower you can make in Minecraft. It can prevent baby animals and creatures from growing up, or restart their growth if you’ve already given them a flower.
You can give this item to a creature to stop it from getting older, but it doesn’t affect babies – like baby monsters, tadpoles, or baby villagers.
How to craft
To craft a Golden Dandelion, you need the following ingredients:
- 1 Dandelion: Found in most biomes on the ground
- 8 Gold Nuggets: Smelt Golden tools or a Gold ingot (produces 9 nuggets)
Once you’ve gathered the necessary materials, go to a crafting table and arrange them as shown in the recipe. This will create a Golden Dandelion.

Alternative way to get Golden Dandelions
If you’re having trouble finding a Golden Dandelion, you can also buy one from Wandering Traders. They sometimes sell a single Golden Dandelion for 2 Emeralds.
That covers everything about Golden Dandelions in Minecraft! While you wait for the update to release, explore all the new features coming soon, or get ready for the cute baby animals by building amazing houses and farms in your favorite worlds.
