So, I've been hearing people say the way grass grows has changed, and was wondering if the kind scientists of this forum would confirm whether or not grass still grows like in this image:
Or if, say dirt exposed to sunlight grows grass even if it's not near grass, or something like that.
It does not apply to Alpha.
I do not know all the details such as light requirements, but I believe grass still can only spread 1 block parallel and diagonal, and does not grow through doors, but otherwise it doesn't matter if there are blocks above the grass anymore.
Your avatar looks like it would be asking that question.
I lol'd at that after going back and looking at his avatar.
And yeah, trees will grow on dirt as long as there is enough light(which is why I have torches around the trunks), the saplings wont stay planted if there isnt enough light.

dirt without direct sunlight will no grow.
IE, if glass is blocking light, grass won't grow.
There are pictures just above you of someone underground without any sunlight growing grass.
Ninja'd, but this ^
It took me several hours to even get grass down there, because I used a path 1 tile wide, grass, however, seems to spread faster if there is more dirt around to spread to, in that underground tree farm, once it hit the actual open area, it really started to fill the area up
I have a little garden up in my tower and yeah, this tread is relevant to my interests. At the moment, I'm pretty much watching grass grow up a thin dirt walk way all the way up to my tower garden. I suppose I should just brute force this and make a giant slope since... its taking forever.

Actually you are, cause at the bottom of that image it says "from an early /indev/ build", meaning it would at least apply to Survival soooo

I guess I can run some tests...for science
Im going to do some tests also. This is exactly what my lab was built for!

I didn't know that.
Hurr durr.
I went of my personal experience, but my tree farm was so small it only needed about 4 torches to keep it well lit.

See? I'm not so malicious...
