Where Found
Sunflowers can be found in almost all warm regions which see plenty of sunlight, with the exception of deserts as they will not grow in sand.
Farming
Sunflowers are primarily used for the production and farming of sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds can be planted in a block of dirt or compost to produce additional sunflowers and yielding more sunflower seeds. Harvesting of sunflower seeds is achieved by hand, or using a machete or spade (for best yield) on a mature sunflower. Regardless of which half is harvested, the entire plant will be broken and the sunflower will need to be replanted.
When planted in a cold region, a sunflower will despawn when the ground is covered by a layer of snow.
A despawning sunflower will drop a seed. If mature when despawning, two will be dropped.
