A '''cactus''' is a plant block found in deserts and badlands. It grows over time and can sprout cactus flowers. It damages [[Minecraft:mob]]s and destroys [[Minecraft:minecart]]s and [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|dropped items]] that touch it.

== Usage ==
== Usage ==
A cactus block can be placed only on [[Minecraft:sand]], red sand, suspicious sand, or another cactus block. A cactus breaks itself (and drops as an item) if any [[Minecraft:block]] with the 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.

It also breaks if on the sand and the block above is [[Minecraft:water]] or lava.


When most entities, including players and [[Minecraft:mob]]s, touch a cactus while moving, it deals {{hp|1}} 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, armor stands are exempt from this.
When most [[Minecraft:entities]], including [[Minecraft:player]]s and [[Minecraft:mob]]s, touch a cactus, it deals {{hp|1}} [[Minecraft:damage]] every tick (although [[Minecraft:damage immunity]] reduces this to once every half-second). 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.


A cactus destroys any [[Minecraft:item]]s that come into contact with it, including other cactus in item form. Falling blocks 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 {{MC/Cmd|summon}}).<!-- example: /summon minecraft:falling_block ~4 ~4 ~ {BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:cactus"},Time:1} -->

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.

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.

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<!-- Average 68.27 seconds/tick * 16 ticks/growth = 18.2 minutes -->, but the actual rate can vary very widely). Bone meal does not work on cacti to speed their growth.<ref>{{bug|MC-73963||Can't use bone meal on cacti or sugar cane|WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-73214||Cactus cannot be bone meal|WAI}}</ref> A cactus does not need 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.

If a cactus has space directly above it, it grows even if the newly-grown block would immediately break due to adjacent blocks.


A cactus also has a chance to grow a 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){{MC/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't generate another cactus flower until it has grown at least 1 cactus block.

Template:For Template:Infobox block Template:Relevant tutorial A cactus is a Minecraft:plant block found in Minecraft:deserts and Minecraft:badlands. It grows over time and can sprout Minecraft:cactus flowers. It damages Minecraft:mobs and destroys Minecraft:minecarts and dropped items that touch it.

Obtaining

Breaking

A cactus can be mined by hand without taking damage. The Minecraft:tool used to mine the cactus does not affect mining speed.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> Template:Breaking row 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.

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.

Using a Minecraft:sign on the side of a cactus causes both the sign and the cactus to drop as items.

Natural generation

Cacti naturally generate in Minecraft:desert and Minecraft:badlands biomes (twice more common in desert than in badlands). They generate as one (Template:Frac chance), two (Template:Frac chance), or three (Template:Frac 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).

A Minecraft:potted cactus can also be found in an Minecraft:igloo with a basement. Potted cacti and 3 block cactus can also be found in some desert village buildings.

Cacti also have a Template:Frac (22.2%) chance to generate in the entrance chamber of Minecraft:trial chambers.

Template:Block distribution

Mob loot

Minecraft:Endermen can pick up cacti. If an enderman is holding a cactus when it dies, the cactus will be dropped.

Generated loot

Template:LootChestItem

Trading

Minecraft:Wandering traders may sell 1 cactus for 3 Minecraft:emeralds. Template:Trade sources

Mob loot

Template:IN, 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.

Usage

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.

When most Minecraft:entities, including Minecraft:players and Minecraft:mobs, touch a cactus, it deals Template:Hp Minecraft:damage every tick (although Minecraft:damage immunity reduces this to once every half-second). 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 stands are exempt from this.

A cactus destroys any Minecraft:items that come into contact with it, including other cactus in item form. Minecraft:Falling blocks 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:slabs or Minecraft:buttons). 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 Template:Cmd).

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.

A cactus can also be placed in a Minecraft:flower pot, where it is harmless.

A cactus (excluding its spikes) is Template:Frac of a block in width (the same as Minecraft:chests) and a full block in height, however the collision box is Template:Frac of a block high.

Farming

Template:Main

Cacti naturally grow to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top cactus block has received 16 random Minecraft:ticks (i.e. on average every 18 minutes, but the actual rate can vary very widely). Minecraft:Bone meal does not work on cacti to speed their growth.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> 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.

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:ticks (i.e. earlier than growing another cactus block)Template:Verify. 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't generate another cactus flower until it has grown at least 1 cactus block.

Smelting ingredient

Cactus provides the highest Minecraft:smelting XP of any farmable block in Java Edition. Template:Smelting Template:Smelting

Breeding

Cacti can be used to breed Minecraft:camels and reduce the remaining growth duration of baby camels by 10%. Camels also follow a player holding a cactus.

Composting

Placing a cactus into a Minecraft:composter has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Trivia

  • 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.
  • Cacti can be placed next to Minecraft:saplings, but the cactus breaks when the Minecraft:tree grows.
  • Minecraft:Endermen could move and place cacti. Thus, they can increase the cactus population in Minecraft:deserts by moving cactus blocks as they grow.
  • Minecraft:Signs and Minecraft:paintings can be placed on the sides of cacti and behave as non-blocks, making them cause damage even though they are covering cacti.
  • It is possible for cacti to generate on blocks other than sand due to terrain generation; refer to the gallery for examples.
  • 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.
  • Dying from touching a cactus displays "[playername] was pricked to death" in the chat messages.
  • Minecraft:Blocks can be placed on top of a cactus, including other cactus blocks.
  • It is possible to place Minecraft:redstone next to a cactus block without destroying it.
  • 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.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
  • Top snow can be placed next to cacti without breaking the cacti, no matter how many top snow layers stack.
