Minecraft:Cactus Flower

Template:Infobox block A cactus flower is a type of Minecraft:flower that grows from cacti. It can be placed on any solid top surface or crafted into pink dye.

Obtaining

Breaking

Cactus flowers break instantly when mined by hand or any item. A cactus flower will always drop itself when mined by a Minecraft:player.Template:Breaking row When a cactus flower's supporting block is removed, the cactus flower uproots and drops as an item.

A cactus flower 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.

Natural generation

Cactus flowers can generate in Minecraft:deserts and Minecraft:badlands growing on Minecraft:cactus blocks. Naturally generated cacti have a 25% chance to have a cactus flower on top.

Post generation

A cactus flower has a chance of growing on Minecraft:cactus blocks. If a Minecraft:cactus is one or two blocks high the flower has a 10% chance to grow instead of the cactus getting higher. If a cactus is three blocks high the flower has a 25% chance to grow. A cactus flower can only grow if there are no blocks in any cardinal directly adjacent to it. A cactus with a cactus flower can no longer grow.

Automatic harvesting

The optimal harvest interval for automatic cactus flower farms not relying on block detection is 34 minutes and 6.45 seconds.

Usage

Placement

Cactus flowers can be placed on Minecraft:cactus blocks, Minecraft:farmland, or any block which provides center support at the top of the block. A placed cactus flower might be used as a decorative block. Cactus flowers cannot be placed in Minecraft:flower pots.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Feeding

Minecraft:Bees follow players holding a cactus flower in their hand within 6 blocks. Minecraft:Feeding a cactus flower to an adult bee causes it to enter love mode. Two adult bees in love mode will always breed and produce offspring. When fed to a baby bee, it will slightly speed up its growth into an adult bee.

Composting

Using cactus flowers on a Minecraft:composter has a 30% chance to raise the compost level by 1. A stack of cactus flowers yields an average of 2.74 Minecraft:bone meal.

Pollination

A bee might try to pollinate a cactus flower and collect pollen from it, resulting in the production of either honey or honeycombs at its bee nest. Bees might die this way due to the cactus that often accompanies a cactus flower, which might prick some bees to death during pollination, unless the cactus flower was manually placed by the player on a surface other than cactus.
