Hoe Effective Cactus [PurpurPack]
by PurpurMC
Hoe Effective Cactus changes how a cactus hoe breaks cactus blocks, and it is set up for Purpur servers.
What it does
The mod adds a mineable tag that lets the cactus hoe break cactus blocks quickly. Players can use the hoe on a cactus column without waiting through the usual slow breaking. Fabric API must be placed in the mods folder for the mod to load on Fabric, and the server requires this mod to run.
The mod ships with a datapack that works the same way as a single configuration setting in Purpur. It can be added or removed at any time, and it leaves vanilla behavior intact on Purpur servers. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with game versions 1.20 – 26.2 and snapshot builds included. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Cactus hoe tag
A mineable tag lets the cactus hoe break cactus blocks faster than the vanilla tools do.
Datapack setting
A datapack supplies the change as one setting, so server owners can enable or disable it like a Purpur option.
Safe to add or remove
The mod can be added or removed at any time without damaging the world on a running server.

What the author says
These datapacks function the same as a singular configuration setting would in Purpur. They can be added and removed at any time without damaging the server. These work in vanilla, you do not need to be running Purpur to use these
