I think that in Minecraft, there should be a natural growth of Tall grass. I do not want to use all that bonemeal, and traveling 500 blocks in any direction is also not very fun.
Also, natural growth of tall grass is just natural. it is the way nature in Minecraft should work.
Let's say that grass blocks that have direct LOS (Line Of Sight) to the sun, as well as beeing within 3-6 blocks of a water source, would have the ability to naturally grow Tall Grass after about 3-4 Minecraft days.
I hope this idea is read, and that it can be implemented in some future update
The amount of lag this would cause (incrementing a timer on each grass block so that it doesn't instantly grow, and every tick checking every block to see if it would grow grass or not) would be painful to play with.
Also, my perfectly weeded grass would be very un-weeded suddenly.
Since we already have a way to generate tallgrass (bonemeal) and move tallgrass (silk touch), no support here.
Aye, but now you're doubling the load the game has to handle. Also, there is a lot more grass eligible to grow tallgrass than there is dirt eligible to grow grass.
Maybe only certain grass blocks, not every single one. Say, only grass blocks with direct exposure to sunlight and within a certain radius of a water source blocks. Those blocks would be "fertile" enough to grow tall grass without needing bonemeal.

You could always use the script system to occasionaly run a check on blocks, roll a 4 sided dice and determine the beginning of general tall grass growth. I believe this system was used before but I'm not sure.

That is a very good idea!
