summon).

When a minecart hits a cactus block, the minecart drops as an item and is often destroyed, although a hopper can pick it up faster.

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

A cactus (excluding its spikes) is 7⁄8 of a block in width (the same as chests) and a full block in height, however the collision box is 15⁄16 of a block high.

Farming[]

Main article: Tutorials/Cactus farming

Cacti naturally grow to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top cactus block has received 16 random ticks (i.e. on average every 18 minutes, but the actual rate can vary widely). Bone meal does not work on cacti to speed their growth.[1] 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.

Trivia[]

• Cacti can be placed underwater, provided they are placed on sand, and they grow if they break the surface.
• Cacti can be placed next to saplings, but the cactus breaks when the tree grows.
• Endermen could move and place cacti. Thus, they can increase the cactus population in deserts by moving cactus blocks as they grow.
• Signs can be placed on top of cacti. Paintings can also be placed on the sides of cacti, creating a nasty trap for anyone that tries to go through paintings.
• 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 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.
• Blocks can be placed on top of a cactus, including other cactus blocks.
• It is possible to place 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.[2]
• Top snow can be placed next to cacti without breaking the cacti, no matter how many top snow layers stack.

   How long does it take for a cactus to grow in Minecraft bedrock?

   Cacti naturally grow to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top cactus block has received 16 random ticks (i.e. on average every 18 minutes, but the actual rate can vary widely).

   Does cactus Farm work in bedrock?

   Cactus farms are useful for acquiring green dye by smelting the cactus blocks or for storing experience in a furnace due to its high XP output when smelted, though it does not produce nearly as much XP when smelted in Bedrock Edition.

   How do you make cactus grow faster in Minecraft bedrock?

   The only way to make cactus grow faster in Minecraft is a zero tick farm. Basically, you shuffle the block under the cactus super fast and the cactus grows ridiculously fast. The amount of cactus you can get is up to 2000 an hour.

   Do cacti grow in Minecraft?

   Cactus is one of the farmable items that can grow potentially infinitely. While cactus will only grow up to 3 blocks tall, you can grow an entire cactus farm out of one block of cactus. This common desert plant can be used for dyes, mob grinders, and or even planted in a flower pot.
