I've done a small scale experiment with growing grass in the dark abyss. I cracked into a large, egg shaped cave that had no access to the sun, yet had grass growing in it. After moving some dirt blocks around, I found that with torches nearby, grass would grow.
I was in the same boat Verthian when I did mine, I wasn't sure if grass grew underground, and it took several ingame days before I knew for sure it was going to work.
Once it got this far though:
It sped up alot:
But yeah, it does work, and once you get it down there you can cut the source path off if you dont need it and fill it back in
I've made a trail of dirt 2 blocks wide down into my cave, with torches on both sides of it for light, does this work?
Or am I wasting my time?
Thanks for all the quick responses. Happy Mining!
