The latest *Minecraft* Snapshot, 25W06A, introduces exciting new features to the beloved sandbox game, including new animal variants, different types of grass, and the star of the show: the Cactus Flower. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to get the Cactus Flower in *Minecraft* Snapshot 25W06A.
Cacti are a familiar sight in *Minecraft*, commonly found in dry environments like Deserts and Badlands. Known for their thorny nature, which can harm players, Cacti are useful for crafting Green Dye and breeding Camels. Now, with the introduction of the Cactus Flower through the Snapshots/Java preview program, these plants have gained a new, vibrant addition. The Cactus Flower, sporting a distinct pink hue, has a chance to spawn atop Cacti in the Desert and Badlands biomes, making it a striking feature against the less colorful surroundings.
Venturing into the wild to gather resources isn't always convenient, so it's great when you can cultivate valuable items right at home. Cactus Flowers can naturally spawn on Cacti planted in the ground, with the likelihood increasing as the Cactus grows taller. However, to see a Cactus Flower bloom, the Cactus must be at least two blocks high. Additionally, the Cactus Flower requires space around it to grow, so avoid planting Cacti too closely together. With the right conditions, your Cacti will soon be adorned with beautiful Cactus Flowers, opening up a world of possibilities.
Once you've obtained Cactus Flowers, there are several ways to put them to good use. Their vibrant pink color makes them an excellent decorative item, capable of adding a splash of color to any block with center support. Beyond aesthetics, Cactus Flowers can be added to the Composter, resulting in Bone Meal, a valuable resource for plant growth. Finally, Cactus Flowers can be crafted into Pink Dye, with one flower yielding one dye. Pink Dye is versatile, used for coloring animals, crafting Fireworks, and more, making the Cactus Flower a worthwhile addition to your *Minecraft* inventory.
