I want to make a special flower that blooms at sunset (between times 11500-12500). On its update tick, I made it detect if it is sunset, and if so to change the plant to its blooming variant, and to its closed variant for when it's not sunset. I had a problem with plants ticking before so I set it to a block that behaves like a plant, so it would tick. However, the force ticking doesn't work with naturally generated blocks, for lag reasons. When I set it to random tick, either the ticking is too slow to tick during the timeframe, or it doesn't tick at all because I didn't see any changes. I would really like to add a plant like this, so any advice is helpful.
Thanks in advance.
In the block menu click on Advanced properties on the bottom, and enable Tick randomly (Advanced block properties 2nd counting from top).
But the problem is that the random ticking is too slow, like I said, and it doesn't update fast enough, at least when I tested it.
If all plant blocks changed at the same time, Minecraft would crash. It is by design of the game like this
