Hi, I'm trying to make a block similar to budding amethyst. I'm almost done, but crystals just won't grow on naturally generated blocks. So, I switched it to tick randomly, but that just broke the entire thing and crystals will not grow anymore :(. I understand that this is done to limit lag, but I'm sure there's a way to do it like it is in MC because these blocks can't be obtained in survival and placed.
tick randomly is based off randomTickSpeed. This means if you have it set to go off 1/100 times, you will need that exact block to be ticked (on average) 100 times. (remembering that randomTickSpeed is how many blocks in a chunk are given an update/tick)
Thanks man! I got it working :D. I thought it wasn't working bc I waited so long but now I see it's just a bit slow to start growing.
Yes, it is the chunk rendering problem
