Flower Boots are a rare accessory which cause flowers to grow when the player walks on regular, Jungle, Hallowed, and Ash grass. These flowers are functionally the same as the wild grass plants that grow naturally on grass, and drop Seeds and Hay normally.

Wearing Flower Boots drastically decreases the chance of critters spawning from destroyed flowers.

Flower Boots can occasionally be found in Ivy Chests, Jungle Crates, and Bramble Crates.

Notes

• Flowers can still generate when walking on mowed grass.
• Flowers will only generate when the player is moving. No flowers are generated if the player is currently using a hook or if the block is covered by any liquid or hammered in any way.
• When walking on Hallowed grass blocks, there is a 50% chance for a short flower and a 50% chance for a tall flower to generate. When walking on other types of grass blocks, all generated flowers are of the same size. See the overview for the flowers which can be generated.
• When wearing Flower Boots, the chance of a critter spawning from destroyed flower plants is reduced to 1/10,000 (0.01%) of the original chance.^[2] For instance, normally a Grasshopper has a 1/50 (2%) chance to spawn from a destroyed regular tall flower. With the Flower Boots equipped, it only has a 1/500,000 (0.0002%) chance to spawn.
  • When applying the chance-reducing effect, the game checks whether the player closest to the destroyed tile is wearing Flower Boots. As a result:
    • In singleplayer, all affected tiles will always have a reduced critter spawning chance even if they were not generated by a player with Flower Boots.
    • In multiplayer, as long as the closest player is not wearing the Flower Boots, plants created by the Flower Boots still have the regular critter spawning chance.

Short Jungle flowers (tile ID 61)

Tall Jungle flowers (tile ID 74)

Ash flowers (tile ID 637)

• Neither Plantera's Bulbs nor Life Fruits will be grown by the boots when walking on Jungle grass. Nature's Gifts and Jungle Roses do not grow either.
• In reversed gravity, flowers will grow on the grass block that the player's head touches, if there is a 3-tiles-tall gap for the player to fit in. The block which the player is actually standing on will not sprout upside-down flowers, nor will it sprout vines.

Tips

• When combined with the Sickle, the Flower Boots can be used to quickly generate large amounts of Hay.
• It may be unwise to have Flower Boots equipped permanently, as they essentially eliminate the chance of obtaining critters for bait from destroyed plants.

Trivia

• Upgrading the Flower Boots to Fairy Boots will decrease the rarity from 07* to 05*.
• True to their name, the Flower Boots will always cause flowers to grow, never ordinary grass plants. This discrepancy is purely aesthetic — flowers have the exact same properties as grass plants.
