I have always have had some cactus farms but never had much uses for them so i thought of a idea
why not use them for dispensers?
your probably thinking but they can already be dispensed by dispensers but i have another use for them and dispensers... make them a projectile when shot out of a dispenser like a arrow but only causes half a heart in damage(the same amount of damage as if you were to run into them)
This way you could have a bit more ammo for dispensers but the only bad thing is that they don't do much damage
Now what happens if it misses a mob or player?
simple it sticks to any object like a arrow and can be picked up just like a dispensed arrow
this may not be a big idea but please reply if you like or have a grudge against it <.<
Nah, personally I think they should be able to be crafted into water, so you can start a wheat farm and brew potions in deserts.
But a projectile doesn't sound good; you don't load your cannons, shout "FIRE" and bash people's heads in with a plant.

i dont think the plant would be bashing in peoples heads in since it would take atleast 20 pieces to kill a player assuming they rather don't miss or don't have Armour
also in real life if some one threw a piece of cactus at you it would hurt you lol(unless there wasn't thorns on it)
I would prefer a cactus to have more uses than defense and dye, but I don't think that you should be able to shoot them. Maybe you could be able to get some kind of food or something with them.
Maybe you could harvest the needles and with the needles you can plant them on the ground so if anything walks over it they will be damaged the same as if they ran into the cactus. Or use the needles as a potion ingredient.
I think cactarrows ("cacti" and "arrow" get it? ) would be a bit of spread attack: it shoots the main cactus and then some little needles (5-10 that also hurt half a heart, but have only 50% chance (or even more if it makes it OP) of damaging target). Sounds good?
Or simply give it a spread pattern, which would synergize perfectly with the new trip wire mechanics. This way you can cover a wider area without having to chain multiple dispensers, even if the damage isn't as high.
Well, cacti needs another uses, but as a projectile? Well, why not, but i'd rather have it as a water/food source.
Its not excluding the idea. Being able to extract certain common materials, or alternative recipes for crafting basics (like a non-wood crafting table) would help SSP and SMP be more viable in large biome mode.

I prefer the idea of being able to harvest some sort of food out of it since cacti are generally full of water and nutrients.
