You do not need to be within 7 chunks (120 blocks) of your cacti farm in order for it to grow like you do with sugar cane, wheat, etc.Cacti can grow in the dark (no light needed)!.Now, make some cactus green and dye the pants off of some sheep! Wait for your cacti to grow, then collect your loot! It makes the gathering process quick so you don't waste any time!Īdd water at each corner (left and right) in the trench you just dug out. This hole (stone brick as shown in my picture) is where all of your cacti will gather once they grow. This hole should extend the entire width of your farm.įind the center of your trench and dig a 3 by 2 hole that is one block deep. Add a hole at the front center of the 3 by 2 hole and change the bottom to a material of your choice. Start placing the rest of your cacti, if you haven't already.Īt the front of your farm, dig out an 11 block long hole that is only 1 block deep. This time, our lines will be going a different way, but don't let it fool you! It's even easier this way if you place your cacti first.īreak every block that is directly above the cacti. Make solid lines all the way to the opposite end of the first layer.īuilding off of the beginning top layer we already made, create solid blocks like you did for the bottom layer. You should end up with an exact replica of the design in the image below!īuild off the pattern you just created in the previous step. Use the cacti as your guide, and only break the blocks directly above the cacti. You will now break every other block in the line you just created. Next, place a block directly behind it (building towards the back of the farm). Once you reach the last cactus in the row, place two blocks on top of it. You will now need to break the block that is directly above the front cactus.Ĭontinue building a line across the top of the cacti. Place a second block directly behind that (going towards the back of the farm). Go back to the front of your farm, and place your building material on top of the front cactus. You will end up with 4 cacti on each sand line, per level. Starting from the front of the farm, place a cactus, and place another cactus every other block behind that. Place cacti in the same pattern I did below. This ceiling will do all of the work for us, so it's important to follow this step very closely. Now, start adding some cacti to get a feel for where your "ceiling" will go. Notice that the water stops exactly at the front of the farm without making a mess. On the back top layer, place water at the furthest point in all 5 trenches.ĭo the same thing for both layers, top and bottom. The wall will prevent the water in the next step from flowing out the back end of the farm. This back wall should be two blocks tall. (1) Overview, (2) Closer view from front Step 5 Back WallĬreate a back wall so that the water does not get out of control. Just do the exact same thing you did in the previous step, but make every line two blocks high instead of one.īecause we're adding this second half of the farm, this will net you about 32 extra cacti, bringing the grand total to 64 (one stack) cacti. Now that you've decided which end is going to be the front of your farm, you're ready to continue building off the back. Build each line out so that they are 8 blocks long. I chose stone bricks as my building material, but feel free to use glass or anything else you prefer.Ĭontinue building your layout backwards, as the first blocks you placed will be the front of your cactus farm. To the left and right of the sand blocks, one block away, place your building material. Keep in mind that you will need to use sand for your main material, as cacti can only be placed on sand blocks. Place four sand blocks horizontally so that they're one block away from each other on the ground. You will begin the "layout" process for the first step. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
