Does anyone have an excess of netherrack that they would be willing to part with?

Also I really can't figure out why my pumpkins aren't growing

make sure there's adequate dirt blocks surrounding it.

FYI: community farm is not exactly mob proof at the moment. Creeper snuck up on me by the melons and pumpkins. I don't have the stuff on me to fix it just needs a couple dirt and acacia slabs is all.

Fixed. Should be mob-proofed in the next couple of days now that the long weekend is over and I'm going to be back at the computer for my normal hours.

Yep, it's surrounded on both sides by dirt.

[fuzzybutternut]

Hmm, light levels are appropriate for growth?

[EspeciallyTheLies]

AFAIK, a player actively loads a 3x3 chunk area around their position. Unless he, or someone else, is in the area for the entire growth cycle, he won't see any changes.

[fuzzybutternut]

^also that.

You could always use a chunk loader

What? They only grow if you're around them? What the fuck?

yep. To keep the server from disintegrating, essentially, the game unloads areas if no one is in them. Otherwise you'd have areas loaded all the time, be unable to have an infinite world/map, and serious lag pretty much constantly.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

That's a native minecraft thing, applies to single player as well.

[xRECKONERx]

Well, that's not how it used to work, because I built a melon farm on the old vanilla server and would just stop by to harvest it every hour or so and they grew fine on their own.

[xRECKONERx]

It completely fucking defeats the purpose of HAVING A FARM if you have to stand in it the entire time.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

LOL not in it, but within 24 blocks of it. ish.

[xRECKONERx]

So crops only grow if you're near them. If you go mining, tough shit, you won't have any crops to come back to?

Around a 5 chunk radius around spawn is loaded all the time

And etl is wrong, its more like 64-128 block horzional distance that you need to be within for plants to grow

Or you could make a vanilla chunkloader. Resource intensive though if you live far from spawn

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Ah ok. There you go. I didnt think it was that far out from position though.

[Klazam]

I was wrong too. Its actually a 10 chunk radius around the player. So be within 160 blocks or so

[Klazam]

Amd spawn is 12x12 permloaded chunks

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah so then my thing should be working.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

What you need to do is make sure that you are standing directly on top of the melon stalk. If you can't get up on there, just keep.jumping. Then watch them for 3 hours give or take an hour.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

(dont do that... )

I'll come check it out after work today. What are your coords?

[xRECKONERx]

I think it's like -761, 1580... just go to that area and look for the giant tower in the sky, that's where UT and I have started building Cocktopia.

Looks like Maestro found an Undersea Palace.
