How do you get Golden Dandelion in Minecraft?

Craft it: 8 gold nuggets surrounding 1 dandelion at a crafting table Buy it from the wandering trader for 2 emeralds when it has one on offer (about a 7% chance per visit) In Bedrock, a wandering trader showing it as an offer can drop one when killed while you hold an emerald (25%, +1% per Looting level)

What is Golden Dandelion used for?

Feed to a baby mob (anything that ages except villagers) to lock its age: it never grows up and never despawns. Feed a second golden dandelion to undo it Brew no potions, but craft suspicious stew with it for a short Saturation effect Craft yellow dye (1 per flower) or use it as decoration, including in flower pots

Renewability

Yes - craftable from gold nuggets (renewable via zombified piglins) and dandelions (bonemeal on grass).

Java vs Bedrock

Age-locking works the same in Java and Bedrock. Bedrock differences: golden dandelions can't be duplicated with bonemeal like other small flowers, and wandering traders can drop them as loot. Piglins inspect dropped ones for 6s (Java) or 8s (Bedrock).
