Cactus Flower

FAQ
Can I put a Cactus Flower in a flower pot?
No. Unlike almost every other flower, it cannot be potted — a known quirk of the block.
What tool do I need to mine it?
None — it breaks instantly with any tool or bare hands and always drops itself.
Do bees get hurt collecting it from a cactus?
Yes, bees pollinating a flower still attached to a live cactus risk taking damage from the spikes, unless the flower was manually placed on a non-cactus block.
What is it used for besides decoration?
It crafts into pink dye at a 1:1 ratio and can be fed to bees to start breeding.
