Benefits of a Cactus Farm
- Consistent Supply: A Cactus Farm provides a steady source of cacti, which can be used for various purposes like decoration, base defense from players and mobs, etc.
- Time-Saving: An automatic Cactus Farm eliminates the need for manual cacti collection, freeing up time for other Minecraft activities.
- Green Dye Production: Produce large quantities of green dye with your Cactus Farm. Cacti can be smelted into green dye, which can be used for coloring wool and other items.
- Make a Bone Meal Farm: Easily transform your Cactus Farm into a Bone Meal Farm by adding a composter to the end of the storage system. This will convert cacti into bone meal.

- Easy to Build: The design is straightforward and the required resources are easy to obtain.
How It Works
- A Cactus Farm typically consists of multiple layers or levels, stacked vertically.
- As the cactus grows, the top section of the cactus will break off due to the presence of the fences.
- The broken cactus piece falls into the water below, where it is carried along by the current.
- The water current directs the cactus piece towards a hopper placed in the middle of the farm, which is connected to the storage chest.
