On this page of our Minecraft guide, you will learn how to make a cactus dumpster.
Making a cactus dumpster
Sometimes, you may need to dispose of useless items but, in such a way, as to render them impossible to be picked up again, either by you or someone else. The easiest way to do that is to throw them into fire but, keeping it indoors bears the risk of fire. If you dig out a hole and put a cactus in it, it will be destroying items harmlessly to your house. To insert a cactus there, the hole needs to be on sand and needs to be surrounded by empty blocks.
Using a cactus dumpster
To dump any item, you need to aim at the cactus while holding that item in your hand. You should remember that the plant also deals damage to you and the other mobs - you need to watch for it, but you can also use it to build, e.g. a moat.
Getting cacti
Cacti can also be found in the deserts. If you collect the lowest one, the entire cactus is destroyed, thanks to which you can quickly pick considerable amounts. To plant them, you simply need to put them on a block of sand and not block from above, which allows for growth.
