Farming radius

<< < (2/3) > >>

atdfbttl15:
So, correct me if I understood wrong, you can make a long farm but you have to see it in the screen so that plants will grow, right?

Spamarian:
I didnt know that the visibility level plays role.
My farms so far, grow completely and very fast even if I am not close to them.

Press f3, a chunk is defined in multiples of 16 so if x=1120 (16 * 70) and z=1552 (16 * 97) then you would be in a corner of a chunk, you would then need to find the other 3 corners by branching out 16 (well 15 tchnically as you are on the 1st square on the 16 chunk)in each direction.

To find where in a chunk you are in the world press f3 and divide your x and z position by 16.

Happy to confuse. :)

ps. My pumpkin farm is alot bigger than 16 x 16 and they all grow, so it can't be a only grow when stood in a chunk, at least not for me :)

Tobs:
Crops grow on loaded chunks (not just the chunks you stand on), any unloaded chunk crops will not grow. You can probably find how far chunks are loaded to on the minecraft wiki.

--- Quote ---In multiplayer mode, a grid with a default radius of 10 (for a total of 21x21 or 441 chunks) is loaded around each player and sent to the player by default, although this radius can be configured to be between 3 and 15, usually only lowered with a poor connection home server. These chunks may have activity (mobs spawning, trees growing, water flowing, dropped items disappearing etc.), while the other world chunks are inactive, stored on your hard drive.
