The Cactus Mod
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
Ever wanted to use cacti for more than just making green dye?
Well...
I don't know why you would want more uses... But here you go.
This mod adds cactus tools, armor, blocks and food.
