Plant Growth Time Update

Hello all,

I'm trying to make a plant similar to that of the sweet berry bush in 1.14. My issue is with time, how can I delay the plant growth with procedures?

I have looked at tutorials but I am still confused.

Thanks

You could make a procedure that sets a local variable to Random [0,1], and then make an if statement that tests if this is for example above 0.9, and put the plant growing in that.

Oooh interesting, if I make the probability greater then 0.9999 and it checks every update tick this might just work.

This should give a chance of one in ten thousand which should be equivalent to an average growth after 10,000 ticks or 8.3 minutes. Hopefully...

Anyway thanks

If you don't want to use randomness but actually set a specific time:

PROCEDURE:

On tick update:

if Nbt number tag "counter" > (time in ticks)

do set nbt number tag "counter" = 0

do (Whatever you want the plant to do when it should be growing)

else

     set nbt number tag "counter" = get nbt number tag "counter" + 1

Requires blocks ability to store NBT data. Initialise counter on block added if it's null value isn't 0.

If you want to combine the counter with randomness you can add such an if statement inside the Else statement, slowing down incrementation of the counter nbt number tag. This will still ensure that the minimal time your plant needs to grow is equal to (time in ticks)
