About this Mod

Do you like cacti? Do you like hats? Do you like the idea of a cactus WITH a hat? And more importantly, are you the type of person to smelt a small little cactus for a measly green dye? If you answered the first three questions with a yes, then this mod is for you! If you said yes to the fourth question.. I wouldn't recommend downloading this mod. Arlo would be very disappointed in you.
Arlo 
Meet Arlo. The most fashionable cactus you'll find in the wild west. Or more so one of them. Just don't tell him that there are more than one of him.
How do you find such a cactus? Well usually you'll find him in any type of desert. But sometimes, and most of the time, he won't have a hat as advertised. But if you do find one with a hat, he will most likely want someone to call his friend. Become that friend.
However, if you can't find Arlo on your own, you can find any of his hats among chests across the world. Most people carry around one of Arlo's hat in their inventory without even knowing. Once you have a hat, you just have to find a mini cactus and place it atop.
