I'm having trouble finding indigo flowers (need them for the project table plans) but I'm wondering if it's biome-related. I live in Green Hills mostly, where purple flowers are abundant. (Seriously, it's ridiculous.) Does anyone know if indigo flowers only spawn in certain biomes, and if so is it only the vanilla biomes?

Lapis won't produce indigo dye, just blue dye. They're the same color when applied to sheep, but only indigo dye can be combined with paper to craft project plans (I think they're called). I will try other biomes, it's just that I'm surrounded by desert, red rocks and taiga, so I have to travel a bit to find some more flower-friendly land. X)
I'll try it when I continue tomorrow! Think I saw some jungle trees not too far away. Thanks! ^^
They spawn only in vanila biomes. Also, in flat world, there's a bug where they spawn even if thw world is set to make flowers not spawn.
According to Direwolf20's video (Season 5 - Episode 3 around 17:25) that trick works everywhere... But you need dirt or grass blocks for this to work, so in some biomes (wastelands, deserts and few others) you need to build dirt platform for this to work...
Build a darkroom setup, feed it bonemeal, have it pump out the flowers into a auto-crafting system to produce your dyes and/or paints. Something to build
Unless I did something wrong, darkrooms don't work anymore. The bone meal would be used, but no items would come through. If I made some light, I would see the grass and flowers spawn, removed the light and the blocks popped off, but if I didn't do that bone meal would just get used up and I'd get no items.
Fairly sure I built it correctly. Did it in a creative test world that has since been deleted, so no pics of the set up. Can anyone confirm that, though?
Macerate/Pulverize some bones and you get 6 bone meal for 1 bone instead of 3. That's what I did to get indigo.
Indeed, darkrooms "the old way" will not work. It looks like that grass/flowers will not grow now unless there is light.
So, the darkroom system needs to be expanded with a block breaker/deployer and I would use a sequencer. First break a block so light can get in the room, then deploy the bonemeal, then deploy a block to seal the dark room. The flowers will pop off as normal, transposers to collect the materials.

Now I have to play around with the sequencer and figure out how to use it.
Edit: What's the max range a transposer grabs items? 3x3?
Something like this:
Used an inverted lamp. Works pretty well, much better than a block breaker/deployer. Which is good because I had no idea how to do that.
6 1/2 stacks of bone meal for 1 stack of indigo flowers.
