I just found out that wildgrass grows back now. I chopping down grass near my house then I saw some of it growing back

Later that day I was in a cavern and when I would put a torch down it would turn the stone to dirt

Well, the short grass did grow before in the code, that's how people made redstone machines that change status from night to day, it's nice that the tall grass does now. As long as trees don't randomly grow back and destroy my house..

Do leaves grow back?

Just wondering aloud, does tall grass spawn spontaneously on short grass, or does it need to spread from other areas where tall grass is found?

In other words, if you have a region of short grass, do you need to use bonemeal to put some initial tall grass in, or will it just show up on its own?

I'd also be curious if flowers will spread about as well with this algorithm?
