If you are in need of cactus and do not own a cactus farm, then here is a really simple tip. Go to a local desert and bring some signs. Right click on the bottom of the cactus to instantly collect the cactus. The reason this works is because signs need a block to support them, such as a cactus. So when you try to place it on the cactus is uses the cactus as support. On the other hand cactus cannot be placed next to a block or it will break. So when you place the sign next to the cactus, it updates the cactus and the cactus realizes it needs to break. When the cactus breaks then the sign has nothing to support itself on so it too breaks. Then you collect the broken cactus and recollect the sign. The cactus will not destroy the sign item entity because in logic the cactus breaks before the sign.
