Pocketmine-mp: Saplings Do Not Need Space To Grow

[Haxley]

Issue description

Saplings do not need adjacent space to grow. Saplings can grow trees touching each other without space in between them.

• Expected result: What were you expecting to happen?
  Expecting saplings needed adjacent space to grow.

• Actual result: What actually happened?
  Saplings do not need adjacent space to grow.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. ... Plant saplings next to eachother.
2. ... Use bone meal to make them grow.
3. ... Observe them not needing adjacent space to grow.

OS and versions

• PocketMine-MP: 1.7dev-516
• PHP: 7
• Server OS: Linux
• Game version: PE/Win10

Plugins

• Test on a clean server without plugins: is the issue reproducible without any plugins loaded?

Sorry for watermark.

[dktapps]

no worries. It's only unconfirmed because I haven't had time to investigate or reproduce this yet.

[dktapps]

This actually behaves the same way in vanilla PC:

However, PocketMine-MP does not account for a) light level (which has to be >= 8), and b) randomness when using bonemeal (not implemented).

[dktapps]

and also in vanilla PE as it happens:

Closing this since it matches vanilla behaviour. Some other tweaks do need to be made, but this issue is invalid.

@dktapps I realize that my video is in creative mode and that's probably what you're testing in. I'm actually referring to survival mode. I thought creative wasn't supposed to allow growing trees adjacent to one another but it does. Everyone who plays single-player on PE cannot grow trees adjacent to each other, unless it's a 2x2 tree or creative mode. I can't speak for Java but if so, it's probably not working as intended (or in creative mode) as every web search returns requirements for tree spacing. Tree farms on my server literally look like huge solid log blocks.

@Haxley it is possible to grow trees in vanilla bedrock survival directly next to each other with bonemeal (a lot of it at that) however, the chances of it happening naturally would be extremely low. I haven't tested it on the Java edition or taken the time to see if it can happen naturally but testing it on PE survival with bonemeal works fine.

[Haxley]

@jacknoordhuis By vanilla do you mean really old original Minecraft, or do you mean unmodified Minecraft as it was intended to play. If it’s the latter, you definitely cannot grow trees adjacent to each other in survival PE.

Yea you can't but with bonemeal you can.. EOD.

[dktapps]

With normal growth it's dependent on light levels. Saplings under trees don't grow because they don't have sufficient light available, not because there is not sufficient space.

I tested this in both creative and survival, and also looked at reverse engineered PC code to verify. Sorry, but you're simply wrong.
