Oki so I've got LOTS of dirt- but the grass never seems to grow back on it after its placed o~o is there something that I need to do in order to get it to grow back? or do I just need to wait even longer? I have sheep on the patch and they won't get their wool back without the grass o~o what do?
I normally put a single grass block down in the area so it can spread from it. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Grass_Block#Growth "Grass grows spontaneously only during map generation."
Grass doesn't grow, it only spreads out, the best weay to let the grass grow back is place a circle of it around the fences, so that the sheep aren't able to access it. You can get the grass block by mining one with the silk touch enchantemet or buy them frrom a local shop (I have got some in stock at 1145, it's kind of hard to find though, it's a tempory shop.) EDIT: a little bit of ninja becuase I logged on to check if it was in stock.
Yeah, like Jelle said, you're gonna already need grass before it'll grow. Just make sure that there are some blocks that the sheep can't reach so that they don't kill it all
*Insert ironic quote* That isn't grass, those are sheep! As what the two said before, grass spreads out. Also, make sure there is enough light
thats the thing- I've got grass blocks and dirt blocks but the grass doesn't seem to spread o~o see? is something blocking it maybe?
where I'm taking the screenshot from doesn't show it <~> was going for more of a showing what I'm talking about i.e. the lack there of with the grass
Grass does take a long time to grow. And can you show us where the grass is? Because there's none in your screenshots. I also read on the wiki that it needs a lot of light to grow, so maybe light the area better?
Ah, yeah, that's the point. There needs to be grass adjacent to a dirt block for grass to grow - it doesn't just grow out of the blue, but instead, spreads onto adjacent dirt blocks.
