Farming radius

(1/3) > >>

atdfbttl15:
I don't know if you realized or not, but trees/wheat/melon etc. wont grow when you are too far from them. Is there a way to change the distance? Or completely deleting it? Because, when you are even something like 64 blocks away they will stop to grow and this is really close, I think.

Thanks for reading

ViperZeroOne:
They will only grow if someone is standing in the chunk.  Doesn't have to be you, so building your farm in a populated area is a bonus.  As far as I know, there isn't any way to change this.  It's part of Minecraft's core coding.

atdfbttl15:
So the most efficient farms are 16x16 farms? Btw is there a number or something that shows the borders of the current chunk in F3?

ViperZeroOne:
I haven't had any problems with 24x24 and 32x32, but I know that people who have had larger farms than that have had growing problems.  My suggestion, keep it as tight as you can and go tall/deep with it.  I actually hid a fairly small auto-farm inside of a tower that's only the dimensions of a Lapis protection stone.

Xeadin:
The chunks (which are 16x16 spaces from bedrock to sky limit) that you can see normally are the "occupied" chunks, because those are the spaces that you can see. Anything beyond that are considered "unoccupied" until you move toward those spaces. I'm not completely certain on how far you can see, but simply put: whatever you can see are the visible chunk spaces.
