About this project
What does Cactus Mod add?

Cactus is your go-to toolkit mod, packed with powerful tools, quality of life enhancements, and highly customizable features for all types of players.
Cactus has a big variety of features. The main ones here being toggleable modules and commands (prefixed with '#' by default).
Other features include:
- Custom HUD System & Editor
- Easy creation and management of locally hosted servers
- Some cool non-buyable cosmetics
- Account & Skin switcher
- Macros for command execution
- In-game screenshot viwer
For a full feature-overview, check out our Features Page ^^
Addons are a simple way for developers to add their own content to cactus without modification of the mod itself. Currently our Addon system supports these integrations:
- Registering
- Modules
- Commands
- HUD Elements
- HUD Text Presets
- Content Packs
- Configuration Files
- Creating Hooks for Events
- Setting dependencies for other addons
- Define which addons to load before and after
There's currently no official "store" for addons. Making on is on our bucketlist, but some other things have priority over that. You can check our Discord Server for community-made addons
By the way: Our Addon API is fully open-source :)

We like to keep it simple and efficient. The entire UI is kept in Minecraft vanilla style without any overly complex or unsuitable UI designs. You can also enable and disable almost all builtin features as you like, choosing which ones you actually need and which not, preventing any unnesseccary bloat.
I started developing the mod originally as a test project in summer of 2023, which then - without having had a clear goal at that time - just by adding things I found useful or fixing issues that annoyed me, (and later by implementing more ideas from the community) the project became what it is today.
If you have any feature ideas, improvements or found any bugs, check out our Discord Server :)

Have fun!
