The latest *Minecraft* Snapshot, 25W06A, introduces a host of new features, including new animal variants and different types of grass. However, one of the most exciting additions is the Cactus Flower. Here’s everything you need to know about getting and using the Cactus Flower in *Minecraft* Snapshot 25W06A.
How To Find Cactus Flower in Minecraft
Cacti are a familiar sight in *Minecraft*, commonly found in dry areas like deserts. These prickly plants are notorious for causing damage due to their thorns, but they also have practical uses, such as crafting Green Dye and breeding Camels. The new Cactus Flower adds an exciting twist to this plant. As part of the Snapshots/Java preview program, the Cactus Flower has a chance to spawn on top of Cacti in the Desert and Badlands biomes. Its vibrant pink hue makes it stand out against the typically muted colors of these areas.
How To Make Cactus Flower in Minecraft
While exploring the wild for resources can be time-consuming, it's more convenient to grow them at home. Cactus Flower can spawn on Cacti planted in the ground, with higher chances as the plant grows taller. However, the Cactus must be at least two blocks high to grow a Cactus Flower. It also requires space on all four sides to grow, so avoid planting Cacti too closely together. With the right setup, Cactus Flowers will begin to bloom, opening up new possibilities for their use.
What To Use Cactus Flower for in Minecraft
Once you've obtained Cactus Flowers, there are several ways to utilize them. They add a splash of color to any compound by sitting atop blocks with center support, making them perfect for decoration. Beyond aesthetics, Cactus Flowers can be added to a Composter, which will produce Bone Meal. Additionally, you can craft Pink Dye using one Cactus Flower, a valuable resource given the wide range of uses for dyes in *Minecraft*, from coloring animals to creating Fireworks.
