Minecraft's latest snapshot, 25W06A, is packed with exciting additions, from new animal variants and diverse grass types to—wait for it—a brand-new flower: the Cactus Flower! This guide shows you how to find and utilize this vibrant addition to the Minecraft landscape.
Cacti are desert staples in Minecraft, known for their prickly defense mechanism. While a nuisance to traverse, they're also valuable for crafting green dye and breeding camels. Now, they've gotten an upgrade! The Cactus Flower, introduced in the snapshot, has a chance to spawn atop cacti in desert and badlands biomes. Its distinctive pink hue makes it easily noticeable against the arid landscape.
Tired of scouring the desert? You can cultivate Cactus Flowers! Plant cacti at least two blocks high, ensuring each cactus has open space on all four sides for optimal growth. The higher the cactus, the greater the chance of a Cactus Flower blooming.
The Cactus Flower isn't just pretty; it's practical! Its vibrant pink adds a pop of color to any build. Additionally, you can compost it to obtain bone meal, a valuable gardening resource. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, one Cactus Flower crafts one Pink Dye—opening up a world of creative possibilities for dyeing items and animals.
That's how to get your hands on the new Cactus Flower in Minecraft Snapshot 25W06A! For more Minecraft tips and tricks, check out our guide on obtaining Armadillo Scutes.
