Ever wanted to eat cacti in Minecraft? Me neither. Well- now you can!
Stripping Cacti
Stripping cacti works very simply- Right clicking a cactus with any axe (or shears, as of 1.2.0) will strip it of it's spines- now that it isn't quite as prickly, what the hell can you do with a naked cactus?
I'm glad you asked.
Eating Cacti
Eating cacti is also very simple- you can craft the stripped cactus block into 4 cactus flesh items, and they can either be cooked or smoked into cooked cactus flesh! Cooked cactus flesh is a very good food source- you can eat the flesh raw, but it's significantly less nourishing.
Cactus Spines
Finally, the spines you get after stripping a cactus are a reliable fuel source. They don't burn for very long, but you get quite a lot of spines per cactus!
Please report any issues, however small, on the Github Issue Tracker! You can also suggest features there if you have any ideas!
