Talk:Grass

Well, I can't make the page, but I have a picture of it and Notch's confirmation: http://i.imgur.com/JUEYD.jpg and http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/71522856479096832 --CDi-Fails 17:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC) I've created the page with just Tall Grass (that is what I put in) so you should be able to write in it now.

Picture?
Since Notch released a screenshot, should we crop that in and use it as the block icon? FelixGriffin 23:44, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Missing grass
Hmmm.... It seems that tall grass has not generated on my map. Same with shrubs. I think that's because I haven't loaded any new chunks. Simply looking for confirmation prisma90


 * Yup. You need to either create a whole new world or move far enough so a newly generated chunk is created to see the tall grass.  Eventually it could spread elsewhere, but you won't find it close by.  --King Korihor 20:50, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

A better name?
This item has been called "Tall Grass," but that doesn't appear to be entirely accurate. At the very least, the item is used for both Tall Grass and Ferns, though they behave the same way. Additionally it's got that non-natural variant which looks identical to a Dead Shrub. Anyway, I'm wondering if a better name for the item/article might not be something like "Foliage Decoration" or something along those lines. "Tall Grass" is only part of the story.

I think "Foliage" would be a better name, but it really depends on what it's called in the actual game. --Wipeout4wh 12:04, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I had thought of that; it doesn't look like there's an official tooltip, though, if you use InvEdit or the like to add it to your inventory. So whatever name it's given right now would be unofficial. -- Xolotl 04:03, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Grass/Fern non-growth-ness confirmation?
Has anyone else tried watching grass grow? I haven't seen any yet so far. :P Past experience with new features makes me guess that it doesn't yet. On the other hand, Notch did mess around with mushroom growth in this update, so it's there's a potential he got a similar mechanism working for these guys. --Srand 21:47, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Offset "bug"
Didn't notch say that that was intended? --Tinaun 05:28, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Jens certainly has... --Warlock 05:32, 27 May 2011 (UTC)


 * This is the bug: . It's supposed to be off-center, but not off of the block. --Wipeout4wh 12:14, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Fire "Bug"
hi, was just playing recently, and noticed that you can set Tall grass on fire...

...but not in the way you'd expect. When you set the side alight, it burns the closest block (IE, grass or sand next to it) If, however, you click the top of the grass, fire will burn in seemingly mid-air for a few seconds, then destroy the grass and burn the block below it... --Dark Pulse 07:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
