{{relevant tutorial|Cactus farming}}&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;cactus&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is a [[Minecraft:plant]] block found in [[Minecraft:desert]]s and [[Minecraft:badlands]]. It grows over time and can sprout [[Minecraft:cactus flower]]s. It damages [[Minecraft:mob]]s and destroys [[Minecraft:minecart]]s and [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|dropped items]] that touch it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Obtaining ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Breaking ===&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus can be mined by hand without taking damage. The [[Minecraft:tool]] used to mine the cactus does not affect mining speed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{bug|MC-175179||Cactus blocks do not have an assigned tool}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cactus}}&lt;br /&gt;
If a cactus becomes unsupported (e.g., due to a [[Minecraft:block]] being placed next to it or its base removed), it breaks and drops as an [[Minecraft:item]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus also removes and drops itself as an item if a [[Minecraft:piston]] tries to push it, or moves a block into its space. Trying to pull it with a sticky piston does nothing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Using a [[Minecraft:sign]] on the side of a cactus causes both the sign and the cactus to drop as items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Natural generation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cacti naturally generate in [[Minecraft:desert]] and [[Minecraft:badlands]] biomes (twice more common in desert than in badlands). They generate as one ({{frac|11|18}} chance), two ({{frac|5|18}} chance), or three ({{frac|2|18}} chance) blocks tall. Rarely taller cacti can be found if generation chooses to generate another on top of one already generated (although not as commonly as [[Minecraft:sugar cane]]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A [[Minecraft:potted cactus]] can also be found in an [[Minecraft:igloo]] with a basement.&lt;br /&gt;
Potted cacti and 3 block cactus can also be found in some desert village buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cacti also have a {{frac|2|9}} (22.2%) chance to generate in the entrance chamber of [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{block distribution}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mob loot ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Minecraft:Endermen]] can pick up cacti. If an enderman is holding a cactus when it dies, the cactus will be dropped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Generated loot ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{LootChestItem|cactus}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Trading ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell 1 cactus for 3 [[Minecraft:emerald]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Trade sources}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Mob loot ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop 1 cactus when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus block can be placed only on [[Minecraft:sand]], [[Minecraft:red sand]], [[Minecraft:suspicious sand]], or another cactus block. A cactus breaks itself (and drops as an item) if any [[Minecraft:block]] with the [[Minecraft:legacy solid]] property, or [[Minecraft:lava]], occupies any of the 4 horizontally adjacent blocks. It also breaks if on the sand and the block above is [[Minecraft:water]] or lava.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When most [[Minecraft:entities]], including [[Minecraft:player]]s and [[Minecraft:mob]]s, touch a cactus while moving, it deals {{hp|1}} [[Minecraft:damage]] every 10 ticks. Damage from touching a cactus is reduced by [[Minecraft:armor]], and touching it also damages the armor. Mobs do not avoid cactus when they pathfind. Notably, [[Minecraft:armor stand]]s are exempt from this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus destroys any [[Minecraft:item]]s that come into contact with it, including other cactus in item form. [[Minecraft:Falling block]]s such as [[Minecraft:sand]] and [[Minecraft:gravel]] are not destroyed when falling onto cactus; instead, they are transformed into item form (as happens when it falls into any block with a hitbox that has a height less than 1, such as [[Minecraft:slab]]s or [[Minecraft:button]]s). The item created in this case is sometimes (though not always) destroyed by the cactus. The conversion to an item applies even when the falling block is a cactus (which is possible with {{cmd|summon}}).&amp;lt;!-- example: /summon minecraft:falling_block ~4 ~4 ~ {BlockState:{Name:&amp;quot;minecraft:cactus&amp;quot;},Time:1} --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When a [[Minecraft:minecart]] hits a cactus block, the minecart drops as an item and is often destroyed, although a [[Minecraft:hopper]] can pick it up faster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus can also be placed in a [[Minecraft:flower pot]], where it is harmless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus (excluding its spikes) is {{frac|7|8}} of a block in width (the same as [[Minecraft:chest]]s) and a full block in height, however the [[Minecraft:Solid block|collision box]] is {{frac|15|16}} of a block high.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Farming ===&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|Tutorial:Cactus farming}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cacti naturally grow to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top cactus block has received 16 random [[Minecraft:tick]]s (i.e. on average every 18 minutes&amp;lt;!-- Average 68.27 seconds/tick * 16 ticks/growth = 18.2 minutes --&amp;gt;, but the actual rate can vary very widely). [[Minecraft:Bone meal]] does not work on cacti to speed their growth.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{bug|MC-73963||Can&amp;#039;t use bone meal on cacti or sugar cane|WAI}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{bug|MCPE-73214||Cactus cannot be bone meal|WAI}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A cactus does not need [[Minecraft:light]] to grow and is non-flammable. If a cactus has space directly above it, it grows even if the newly-grown block would immediately break due to adjacent blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A cactus also has a chance to grow a [[Minecraft:cactus flower]] at any height. This happens after a cactus block has received exactly 9 random [[Minecraft:tick]]s (i.e. earlier than growing another cactus block){{verify|edition=bedrock}}. If the cactus is 1 or 2 blocks tall the chance is 10%, at 3 or more blocks tall the chance is 25%. A cactus flower can only grow if there are no blocks in any cardinal direction adjacent to it. A cactus with a cactus flower can no longer grow. When the cactus flower is broken by a player, the cactus may grow taller but can&amp;#039;t generate another cactus flower until it has grown at least 1 cactus block.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Smelting ingredient ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cactus provides the highest [[Minecraft:smelting]] XP of any farmable block in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Java Edition&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Breeding ===&lt;br /&gt;
Cacti can be used to breed [[Minecraft:camel]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of baby camels by 10%. Camels also follow a player holding a cactus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Composting ===&lt;br /&gt;
Placing a cactus into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Cacti can be placed in 1 block deep [[Minecraft:water]], provided they are placed on [[Minecraft:sand]], and they grow if they break the surface.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cacti can be placed next to [[Minecraft:sapling]]s, but the cactus breaks when the [[Minecraft:tree]] grows.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Endermen]] could move and place cacti. Thus, they can increase the cactus population in [[Minecraft:desert]]s by moving cactus blocks as they grow.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Sign]]s and [[Minecraft:painting]]s can be placed on the sides of cacti and behave as non-blocks, making them cause damage even though they are covering cacti.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is possible for cacti to generate on blocks other than sand due to [[Minecraft:generated structures|terrain generation]]; refer to the gallery for examples.&lt;br /&gt;
* Cactus can be used in the desert to see if the [[Minecraft:player]] is in a newly generated area. If most of the cacti around the player is only one block high, then it is most likely new land.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dying from touching a cactus displays &amp;quot;[playername] was pricked to death&amp;quot; in the chat messages.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Minecraft:Block]]s can be placed on top of a cactus, including other cactus blocks.&lt;br /&gt;
* It is possible to place [[Minecraft:redstone]] next to a cactus block without destroying it.&lt;br /&gt;
* A 20 block tall cactus can be found on the seed 43931985876593125 at coordinates (-9711824 , ~ , 7726416) and more recently a 22 block tall one on seed 11343195073417814 at coordinates (14955936 , ~ , -3750655) and even a 23 block tall one on the seed 184693195438010998 and coordinates (16274576 ~ 10230656). All these seeds, found by the Minecraft@home research project, work on Java Edition 1.14.4.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Tweet|minecraftathome|1275401340731232256|With data generated from volunteer computers on our BOINC network, the tallest known cactus in #Minecraft was discovered yesterday at the 20 blocks high.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Seed: 43931985876593125&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Position: -9711824 7726416}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Top snow can be placed next to cacti without breaking the cacti, no matter how many top snow layers stack.&lt;br /&gt;
