The Cactus Mod 1.16.5/1.12.2 adds new uses for Cacti, such as the Cactus Dispenser which can be used for defense or mod farms, and the Cactus Chest, which can be used to store items. This mod also adds cactus tools, armor, blocks and food.
Ever wanted to use cacti for more than just making green dye? I don’t know why you would want more uses… But here you go.
Features:
Blocks:
- Cactus Chests: Have the same storage as normal chests but voids it’s inventory over time.
