Update Tick Procedure for Spawning Tall Plant

I want to make a new plant like tall grass and rose bush that spawn in a biome, but I was hoping someone could show me what the Update Tick procedure would look like for the bottom block if I wanted the top block to spawn on top of the bottom one. There is this thread (https://mcreator.net/forum/43203/how-do-i-create-plant-two-blocks-tall-when-placed-peony), but I was not able to open up the file.

Thanks

sorry, I didn't read your link before first post... I did a quick mod workspace of how it can work.. there are more ways to get the job done, but I set you up with the easiest way.. the first plant is the one that spawns, the second doesn't spawn (set to 0).. the update tick tells it to place the topper block at y + 1.. Sorry it's sloppy..

Thanks for the help Kinyoshi, it really helped and I am super close to achieving my goal! The top block breaks because it is a plant instead of a block (a block won't break). One thing though, the top block does not spawn on top of the bottom one. What exactly does the attached procedure do?

That is the % chance it does the procedure on each tick..  the way I did it is the really bad example was 70% chance to grow on each tick.

That link you had on your first post, I downloaded and converted to 2020.3 mcreator..  that has stuff we need for plant tops..

In a little bit, I'm going to work more on this for you. Unless you already got it working,..

Hey I wanted to let you know that I finally got it working :), the plant spawns as the plant, then when it ticks I switches to the block version with the topper, when you break that it drops you the plant to start it over.. it only drops one plant item when you break either top or bottom..  and it hurts you because it's a cactus.. sorry bout the textures I used, they were dummy textures I was messing around with for my mod., you're free to use them if you'd like :).

I'm also going to post this in the tutorial section.

Shoot, one more thing: I can place the bottom block on top of eachother... is there a procedure to make it so this can't happen?
