Giant Cactus
Giant Cactus adds a desert biome that contains very tall cactus structures, which players can use as a base.
What it does
The mod generates a giant cactus within desert areas, and the terrain around each one is shaped to blend with the surrounding biome. Each cactus has enough room on its top and inside to build a base, so players can use it as a shelter while exploring. Giant Cactus is part of the Giant Natural Additions mod, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and not as open source. Client and server both need it, so it must be installed on the server and on every player's client.
