About Cactus

Cactus Mod is a Fabric mod designed for Redstone enthusiasts, survival players, and mapmakers. On top of that, it brings a bunch of small quality of life features to just improve the game overall in various ways.

The mod offers a wide variety of features, with the main ones being toggleable modules (what might be known as "mods" from clients) and chat commands. To keep Cactus Mod's commands separate from vanilla ones, we use a custom command prefix. By default, it's set to #, but you can easily change it to want. Other cool features include macros, an account and skin changer, tools for creating and managing locally hosted servers, and a global system for chat and custom cosmetics - all completely free and not tied to a store.

Unlike many other clients, we like to keep things simple and familiar. The entire UI sticks to the classic Minecraft style, without any over-the-top or "ultra-clean" designs. Plus, you're in full control of what's enabled. Using our content pack system, you can toggle built-in features on or off as you like. Don't want the "direct connect" server preview widget? Just disable it.

You can even expand the mod with addons (our store for sharing addons is coming soon!). These addons use our addon API to interact with Cactus and can add new content packs and features.

If you have questions, ideas, or just want to hang out, feel free to join our Community Discord. You can ask for help, share your addons, chat with other players, or suggest new features - we'd love to hear from you!

Dynamic content

Using content packs you can enable and disable most of the built-in features. This allows you to customize almost everything as you like, choosing what you need and what not.

Not everything is included here, but major content groups will be added.

Enhanced creative Tools

While most client mods are focused on survival or pvp, we don't want to neglect the creative community. Tools like the NBT Editor make it easy to manipulate item properties, and the Armorstand Editor can be used to easily create custom armor stands.

Create servers easily

We've created a user-friendly way to create local servers and install your preferred server software - all in one simple UI. These servers are exactly like any other server and run your favorite plugins and mods (depending on the software of your choosing). If you want to, you can also choose to install your own server software later on.

Host your worlds for everyone

Welcoming: Oasis! Our home-made supertool to publish your singleplayer worlds to the world wide web and allow your friends to join in - they don't even need to have Cactus installed. You can also whitelist your world to prevent uninvited visitors from entering.

As this feature is still in development it is not available for everyone, but we are constantly improving it working to release it as soon as possible.

FAQ

How do I install Cactus?

Cactus is a Mod made for the FabricMC loader. To use it, you have to download and install FabricMC to your launcher, or use any third-party launcher like CurseForge or Modrinth. If the mod isn't available in the launcher of your choosing, just add the JAR file of the mod to the mods directory. Cactus requires the Fabric API to work.

We do not support Forge!

Does Cactus work on any Server?

Yes, Cactus is made to work on every normal server. Since the mod only affects the client (your game), all normal servers should be compatible with it.

Some modules in Cactus display a warning when enabling them, categorizing that module as one that could be unwanted by some servers. For example, this includes Auto-Top (Wire assistant) and Inventory Tabs.

Does Cactus boost my Frames?

No. Cactus is generally a unique toolkit mod and is not meant to boost frames. But since Cactus is a Fabric mod, you can install other mods, including performance-boosting mods like Sodium. I recommend also using Lithium, Immediately Fast and LazyDFU.

Will Cactus be available for version..

Generally, we are trying to keep Cactus up-to-date with Minecraft. Starting from 1.20.1, we'll try to make a version available for every new major version soon, but versions older than that are not supported and there are no plans to support those in the future.
