Editing Cactus (section)

=== Breaking ===
A cactus can be mined by hand without taking damage. The tool used to mine the cactus does not affect mining speed.

When the spot a cactus is placed in becomes unsuitable, such as when a solid block is placed next to it or its supporting block is removed, the cactus block uproots and drops as an item.

A cactus also removes and drops itself as an item if a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space. Trying to pull it with a sticky piston does nothing.

Using a sign on the side of a cactus causes both the sign and the cactus to drop as items.
