Description
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.
Some of the mods blocks/functionality
Cactus Chests: Have the same storage as normal chests but voids it's inventory over time.Cactus Hopper: Basically a cheap hopper but it will also slowly void it's inventory over time.
Cactus Dispenser: Has no inventory, Shoots spikes.
Cactus TNT: Instead of breaking blocks the Cactus TNT shoots spikes in all horizontal directions.
Cactus Carpet: Hurts mobs when touched. Won't destroy items laying on top until they are 2 minutes old.

Cactus Cake: IT HURTS TO EAT!!!
Cactus Cart: Faster/cheaper than normal minecarts.
Mobs:
Cactus Golem: A cheaper cactus version of an iron golem.Summoned by creating the usual Iron Golem structure but using Prickly Iron blocks instead of Iron Blocks and carved cactus/John O' Lantern instead of the pumpkin.
