You have all seen it by now I think: Since the new 1.5 update, bonemeal does not immediately fully grow wheat or carrots or saplings. It takes from 1 - idk how much to grow a sapling, and it mostly costs 2-3 for wheat and carrots and potatoes.
Probably this was done to make survival more of a challenge; until 1.5, you just hunted down some skellies, gaining 1-2 bones per kill, and then go to you wheat farm to instantly grow 6 wheat plants. Now, you are lucky if you can grow even one wheat with one bone.

You have probably seen the cartoon. This is something you probably encounter too. Since there is a random amount of bonemeal needed to grow it you never know how much bonemeal you need. And I think everyone has had that moment that you wanted to grow a treefarm, had a stack of bonemeal and totally wasted it on one tree, whilst that wasn't growing at all (yeah, you probably rage quit then :P). For the ultimate troll on my ... 'cartoon' , try to imagine a 7th picture, of him being gone and the tree grown. Believe, I've had that before :3.

Anyways.

The concept of bonemeal instantly growing things like tall grass or trees is one of the most unrealistic features of minecraft (leaving out the pixelated block world :3). So no questioning about that. And I don't really have a problem with the idea of multiple bonemeal is needed for one sapling. At least, not for the survival part, as I barily play survival myself. It is just a bit tougher, but we can manage it :). What I do wonder, why did they put this in creative too? Because if you don 't have the //tree command, you'll have to spend a looooot of time growing all the saplings (luckily you have unlimited bonemeal).

So why also in creative? As it does not actually add anything to it?

Got the answer? You can always post it below.

Liked the blog (and my picture :D)? --> think about giving a diamond for it
