DatapacksJava
Cactus Mining Damage
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
| DESCRIPTION |
Makes you take 1/2 heart of damage every time you mine a cactus with your first, because it has thorns. Mining it with an item in your hand (or using the cactus item to mine or attack things) won't do damage.
| VERSIONS |
Currently supports Minecraft Java 1.21-26.2.
| COMPATIBILITY |
Incompatiple with datapacks using the same function or scoreboard name.
