Right now I'm playing survival island map and I'm slowly covering the island with dirt. But for some reason no grass seems to be growing on the dirt blocks even though they are out in the sunlight. Can someone tell me how to fix this?
-Edit-
I mean the grass that grows on dirt blocks. Not tall grass.
Grass spreads from block to block, I believe the requirements are:
- Existing grass block in sunlight.
- Dirt block within 3 blocks in any direction also in sunlight.
This means that once your grass is gone you can no longer produce it, so always make sure you have at least one grass block left!
Before we can really help you, you need to clarify whether your talking about tall grass or grass blocks. Tall grass doesn't grow naturally you have to use bonemeal on a grass block, and grass blocks don't grow they spread from other grass blocks.
If you're on a survival island and there is no grass left, you're out of luck. Grass can only spread from other grass blocks, therefore:
Grass Block + Dirt Block = 2 Grass Blocks
Dirt Block + Dirt Block = 2 Dirt Blocks (to infinity, I suppose)

Grass grows about as fast as grass grows in real life. SLOWLY.
- Existing grass block in sunlight.
- Dirt block within 3 blocks in any direction also in sunlight.

EDIT: Woo, ninja'd by about 20 people. >_>
Was this added in a recent update? Because I use to do this alot with under-water glass domes.
Oh, i alays had to use bonemeal, so I just thought it never grows naturally. As a good man once said (The Spy), "This is not our finest moment...."
If you are referring to the tall grass on grass blocks, the you would right-click on grass blocks to grow tall grass and flowers on them. :smile.gif:
Just tried bonemeal. Doesn't work.
On a dirt block? No. Only on Grass blocks, and there may need to be more than one. "Cry some moor!"
grass blocks.
Oh..I cannot help you my friend. Just have it sit in the sun a long time. I thought you meant tall grass....."Dag nabit babit damnit gabit..." -Engie
Thats the thing. Its been sitting in the sun for 2 days now.
Did you hear that? "What was noise?" -Heavy "The sound of progress!" -Medic
Just wait... and wait.....and wait...
"Only time will tell...." -I have no idea
You sure like TF2 don't you?
