I do apologize if my six years worth of playing minecraft sound rather nooby, because i do go back and forth between platforms, like i play console and PC, But theres something i'm curious to see how just mining one block and doing things in survival affect the biomes your in or time it takes to grow things.
On console, I do whatever i can to pass the time, same with PC but it seems like on PC everything is debuffed to a to a borderline realistic setting, everything seem to grow and produce very slowly.
Like here's an example to give you a better understanding, on console, i would plant a full farm. and by the time i complete the farm, the first seeds i put down are either 1/4 or 2/4 of a way done growing, and within 10-15 minutes, they are full grown, ready to be collected.
As in PC on the other hand, took a couple of minecraft days. but then one day i did alot of mining and cutting down trees in a short period after planting some seeds, and they were full grown as i came back. and i was like...
Doing stuff in or to a chunk has no bearing whatsoever on whether minecraft plants grow. It's possible that on one platform the default tick rate is set to a faster value or that you turned it up to a faster value, or it could just be standard RNG mechanics.
The only thing I can figure is that perhaps you have your render distance set pretty low on the PC so there are less chunks loaded around you? Also keep in mind that the console world is smaller and they may have more chunks loaded around you than you do on your PC so the farms chunks aren't unloading as much or at all.
I would imagine that you might have gone out of range of the chunk the farm was in and it unloaded. If I need fomething to finish up (e.g. crop growth or 10-15 furnace loads of sand becoming glass) I just go AFK for a while because my farm and base area is large enough that parts of it are out of range from other areas.

What is this physicists?
I have no clue what happened.

Yea, its really weird

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
