[[Image:Cacti_With_Prickly_Pears.jpg|thumb|Cactus with Prickly Pear]]

Cacti vary in shape based on the plant's growth, but are currently the tallest plants in the game. The thick spiny stems may extend several [[Blocks|blocks]] high and may have up to several arms connected to the stem. They appear green with faint areoles extending up the ribs of the stem. When a cactus dies, it will turn black and begin despawning from the top down. There have been no evidence or reports of any items being left behind.

Cacti can be found in the [[Desert|desert]] [[Biome|regions]].

Cacti are primarily used in the production and [[Farming|farming]] of [[Prickly Pear|prickly pears]]. Prickly Pears can be planted in a block of [[Sand|sand]] or [[Compost|compost]] to produce additional cacti and yielding more prickly pears. Harvesting of prickly pears are achieved by hand on a mature cacti bearing the fruit. Harvesting a block of cactus will produce a [[Stick|stick]], and using a [[Machete|machete]] will produce three. This makes cacti similar to an all-[[Leaves|leaf]] [[Tree|tree]].

Climbing on a cactus will reduce the [[Health Bar|Health]] of a [[Blockhead]] and cause them to make an "Ow" sound of pain. Placing [[Ladder|ladders]] over the cactus does not prevent this.
