🎍 Vertical Crop Block

Vertical Crop Block grows upward or downward on random ticks, like sugar cane or kelp. It accumulates an internal age and places a new block of the same type once it reaches the maximum.

Growth only triggers when the space ahead (above for up, below for down) is air and fewer than max_height segments of the same block already exist below the tip.

Example

blocks:
  default:flame_cane:
    behaviors:
      - type: vertical_crop_block
        max_height: 4            # max number of segments in one stalk (default 3)
        grow_speed: 0.333        # age increase per random tick, fractional part = chance of +1 (default 1)
        direction: down          # growth direction: "up" or "down" (default up)
      - type: hanging_block
        stackable: true
        delay: 1

info

grow_speed determines how fast a segment matures. The integer part is added to age every random tick; the fractional part gives a bonus +1 with that probability. For example 0.333 means the crop has a 33.3% chance of gaining 1 age per tick.

warning

This is a random-tick behavior — it only grows when the block receives random ticks.
