Plant Growth
Grass blocks have advanced mechanics that allow tall grass and other plants to grow every 1,200 game ticks, equivalent to 1 real-time minute.
The block first checks how many blocks are within a 5x5x5 area around the block where the plant will grow. Each plant is then counted and stored in memory for a later test.
The next step is to check for the biome density tag. Each biome can be assigned a density tag that defines the maximum number of plants that can be generated within it.
-
Dense=12 -
Moderate=6 -
Light=3
The next step is to determine if the biome is a specific type, which will decide whether the default foliage is used or if a custom block tag will be applied for generation.
The final task is to have the block randomly select and place a block from the designated block tag. The blocks in this tag should be prioritized under the space-checking block tags to prevent overpopulation of the biomes.

In the future, I plan to expand this feature to support cross-mod integration, allowing other mods to utilize it through commands and configuration settings.
