About
Cactus is a plant block found in desert biomes. It damages any mob or player that touches it, making it useful as a barrier in mob farms or grinder designs. The block itself has low hardness and breaks quickly with any tool, dropping as an item when harvested.
It stacks to 64 and can be obtained via the /give command or by breaking naturally occurring cacti. Cactus grows in a single vertical column and requires sand or red sand directly below it to stay alive, it will pop off if placed on other blocks.
