Talk:Sapling

Space for Growth
The article does a good job explaining how much space each sapling needs above in order to grow. Don't saplings also need a certain amount of space around? -98.246.128.140 05:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

This sentence doesnt make any sense to me: ".. spruce can also grow on farmland, and 2×2 trees check for dirt or grass only under the northwestern-most sapling." 178.155.238.164 18:24, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Maximum distance from a player
In 16.1, when creating a superflat creative world with a layer of oak saplings and flying up vertically, I found that the trees formed a smooth circle that didn't extend out to the full render distance, and didn't have the jagged edges we'd expect if it were based solely on chunk loadedness. So there must be a maximum distance from the nearest player, beyond which saplings don't grow. Should the article indicate what this distance is? (With acacia, dark oak and birch saplings, the circle does seem to follow chunk edges; jungle and spruce saplings won't grow if they fill the entire layer, nor will crimson or warped fungi.)

 * Yes, it should. I came here specifically looking for this information. JadedDragoon (talk) 07:19, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No, that distance is for random ticks in genral, look up the gamepedia page for randomticks for that stuff.--80.101.24.9 16:57, 22 October 2020 (UTC)Boas
