How to get, grow and ride a Happy Ghast in Minecraft
It avoids Cactus, Sweet Berry Bushes, Wither Roses, Magma Blocks, fire and Pointed Dripstone.
Tested 26.3
A Cactus is a spiny desert plant that hurts anything touching it and destroys items that land on it.
It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It can be composted: each one has a 50% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
It grows up to three blocks tall on sand or red sand, and only if no block is right next to it. Smelting it gives Green Dye. Its top can bloom into a Cactus Flower. Builders use cacti as fences and as item-destroying traps.
How to craft
This item has no crafting recipe.
