Minecraft's latest snapshot, 25W06A, is packed with exciting additions, from new animal variants and diverse grasses to a standout new flower: the Cactus Flower. This guide shows you how to find and utilize this vibrant addition to the Minecraft world.
How to Find Cactus Flower in Minecraft
Cacti are desert staples in Minecraft, known for their prickly defense mechanism. While a nuisance to players traversing the landscape, they're also valuable for crafting green dye and breeding camels. Now, they've gotten an upgrade! The Cactus Flower, introduced in the latest snapshot (with a planned future release in the main game), adds a splash of color to these arid biomes.
You'll find Cactus Flowers randomly spawning atop cacti in desert and badlands biomes. Their distinctive pink hue makes them easy to spot amidst the less vibrant surroundings.
How to Grow Cactus Flower in Minecraft
While foraging is fun, growing your own Cactus Flowers offers greater control. They can spawn on cacti planted in the ground, with the chances increasing as the cactus grows taller. However, remember: a cactus must be at least two blocks tall for a Cactus Flower to appear, and it needs open space on all four sides to flourish. Plant them strategically for optimal results!
What to Use Cactus Flower for in Minecraft
Once you've harvested your Cactus Flowers, you have several options. Their vibrant pink color makes them a charming decorative element, adding a pop of color to any build with center support. Beyond aesthetics, they're also compostable, yielding valuable bone meal.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Cactus Flowers are used to craft pink dye. One flower produces one dye, offering a versatile resource for coloring animals or crafting items like fireworks.
