Minecraft Bedrock Chorus Guide

Chorus items are exclusive to the End dimension, with all natural sources located specifically on the outer End islands in the End Highlands biome. These remote islands only become accessible after defeating the Ender Dragon. Once the dragon is slain, a portal called an End Gateway appears. Throwing an Ender Pearl into this small, floating portal teleports players to the outer islands—home to End Cities, End Ships, and most importantly, chorus plants.

The tall, coral-like structures you’ll find across these islands are chorus plants, and they are the only natural source of both chorus fruit and chorus flowers. While you can’t obtain the chorus plant blocks themselves—even with Silk Touch—you can gather flowers from their tops and fruit from their stems.

Chorus flowers are found at the tips of the branches and must be broken individually. An axe is the most efficient tool, though any tool will work. These flowers will drop themselves when broken normally, but if they’re destroyed by environmental means—such as the block they’re sitting on being removed, or being pushed by pistons or fluids—they won’t drop anything.

Meanwhile, chorus fruit is harvested by breaking the main body of a chorus plant. Every plant block has a 50% chance to drop a fruit, and breaking the base of the plant causes the entire structure to collapse—ideal for efficient gathering.

Every chorus item—flower, plant, fruit, and their smelted or crafted derivatives—has its origin in the End Highlands. Mastering how to locate and harvest them not only allows for renewable farming in any dimension, but also grants access to useful utility blocks and distinct building materials not available elsewhere in the game.

Placement and Growth

Plantable on End Stone in any dimension, regardless of light.

They must be placed directly above End stone or a chorus plant block, or above air and horizontally adjacent to exactly one chorus plant. If these conditions are not met, the block will break without dropping anything.

A freshly planted chorus flower starts at age 0 and can grow up to age 5. When a flower reaches age 5, it stops growing and appears purple rather than white. Breaking and replanting a flower resets its age to 0, allowing it to grow further.

Growth Stages

A freshly planted chorus flower starts at age 0 and can grow up to age 5. When a flower reaches age 5, it stops growing and appears purple rather than white. Breaking and replanting a flower resets its age to 0, allowing it to grow further.

Bone meal has no effect on their growth.

Growth Algorithm

Bee Interaction

Chorus flowers can be pollinated by bees. Saplings from oak, birch, and cherry trees grown within 2 blocks of a chorus flower have a 5% chance to generate with a bee nest containing 2-3 bees.

Accessing the End Islands

To reach these outer islands, players must first defeat the Ender Dragon on the central End island. After defeating the dragon, a small portal encased in bedrock, known as an End gateway, will appear. Players can throw an Ender Pearl into this portal to teleport to the outer End islands. It is always a good idea to harvest some End stone and chorus flowers during your first trip to the End so you can replant them in the Overworld.

Composition

Chorus plants are made up of chorus plant blocks and chorus flowers. Each branch of a chorus plant has a chorus flower at its top.

Growth and Height

Plant heights typically range from 5 to rarely 22 blocks tall above the End stone where they were planted. Over half of all chorus plants grow to be between 13 and 16 blocks tall.

Name Origin

The name “chorus plant” was inspired by the soft sound they were originally intended to make while growing, creating a “choir” if many grew together.

Obtaining Chorus Fruit

Chorus fruit is obtained by breaking chorus plant blocks. You cannot obtain chorus plant blocks themselves, even with a Silk Touch enchantment.

Each chorus plant block has a 50% chance to drop a chorus fruit, and this chance is not affected by the Fortune enchantment.

Breaking the bottom chorus plant block of a tree will cause the entire tree to collapse, dropping chorus fruit from all broken blocks.

Eating Chorus Fruit

Restores 4 hunger points (2 drumsticks) and 2.4 saturation.

Can be eaten even when the hunger bar is full for saturation benefits

Teleportation Effect

Upon consumption, the player may be teleported randomly up to 8 blocks in any direction on all three axes (X, Y, Z). Up to 16 attempts are made to find a valid destination within this range.

The player can teleport into spaces as small as 2 blocks high, or 1 block high if crawling. Chorus fruit allows teleportation through solid blocks, which differentiates it from an Ender Pearl

The teleportation algorithm tries to avoid fluids like water or lava, but it can teleport the player onto dangerous blocks such as fire, cacti, or magma blocks. It can also teleport players into otherwise unbreakable blocks like bedrock in Survival mode.

Teleportation tends to favor moving the player downwards rather than upwards.

A sound similar to an Enderman teleporting plays from the origin location if a teleport succeeds. There is a 1-second cooldown after eating a chorus fruit, which applies to all chorus fruit items in the player’s inventory and containers. This cooldown is represented by a white overlay on the item in the hotbar.

Eating chorus fruit can be used to escape from or enter inaccessible areas, such as bedrock prisons or Nether portal traps. It can also be used to create secret bases.

Eating chorus fruit resets fall distance. This means if you eat it before falling too fast, it can save you from fall damage. However, if you’ve already accumulated significant fall velocity, eating it will simply cause you to hit the ground faster without preventing death.

It is generally not effective for saving players from falling into the void, unless a valid teleport spot on the side of the End island is within 8 blocks.

Chorus fruit is non-functional above the Nether roof.

Foxes can also eat chorus fruit, and the teleportation effect works the same as with players. The random teleportation can be useful in PvP battles for evading enemies or dodging projectiles.

It can save players from fall damage caused by Shulker pellets in the End, as it teleports them safely to the ground. Players using Elytra mid-flight can use chorus fruit to teleport abruptly to the nearest ground level.

Crafting & Smelting

Smelting: Converts to Popped Chorus Fruit.

Crafting Uses:

Manual Farming

Can be grown in any dimension on End Stone. No light level requirement.

Setup: Place End Stone with ~3-block gaps and then plant chorus flowers on each block.

Harvesting: Use a bow to shoot down fully grown flowers for replanting and then break the base block to collapse the plant and collect fruit.

Replanting: Use harvested flowers to restart the process.

Automated Farming

Possible with redstone and proper farm designs.

Some designs focus on harvesting fruit, others on preserving flowers.
