The latest *Minecraft* Snapshot, 25W06A, introduces exciting changes to the beloved sandbox game, including new animal variants and different types of grass. However, the star of the show might just be the new Cactus Flower. Here's how you can get your hands on this vibrant addition in *Minecraft* Snapshot 25W06A.
How To Find Cactus Flower in Minecraft
Cacti are a common sight in *Minecraft*, typically found in dry areas like the Desert and Badlands biomes. These plants are notorious for their thorns, which can cause damage to players. Despite this, Cacti are valuable for crafting Green Dye and breeding Camels.
The developers have enhanced the Cactus by introducing the Cactus Flower through the Snapshots/Java preview program. This new resource has a chance to appear on top of Cacti in the Desert and Badlands biomes. With its distinct pink color, the Cactus Flower stands out in these less vibrant areas, making it easy to spot.
How To Make Cactus Flower in Minecraft
Venturing into the wild to find resources can be tedious, so it's great when you can cultivate them at home. Cactus Flowers can grow on Cacti planted in your own garden. The likelihood of a Cactus Flower appearing increases with the height of the Cactus, but remember, the plant must be at least two blocks tall for the flower to grow.
It's also crucial to provide enough space around the Cactus; the flower requires room on all four sides to bloom. Avoid planting multiple Cacti close together if you want to maximize your chances of growing Cactus Flowers. With the right setup, you'll soon see these beautiful blooms flourishing in your *Minecraft* world.
What To Use Cactus Flower for in Minecraft
Once you've collected Cactus Flowers, there are several ways to use them. Their striking pink hue makes them an excellent choice for adding color to your creations. Place them on any block with center support to enhance your builds visually.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Cactus Flowers can be added to a Composter to produce Bone Meal, a useful resource for farming. Additionally, you can craft Pink Dye from one Cactus Flower, which is a valuable material for dyeing items and crafting Fireworks, among other uses in *Minecraft*.
That's how you can obtain and utilize the Cactus Flower in *Minecraft* Snapshot 25W06A. For more tips, check out how to get Armadillo Scutes in the game.
