Pitcher Crop Growth
A Pitcher Crop grows through stages 0 to 4, becomes two blocks tall at stage 3 and needs light level 8.
Rules
| Growth stages | 0 to 4. Stage 4 is fully grown. |
| Two blocks tall | At stages 3 and 4 the crop has an upper half in the block above. |
| Planted on | Farmland. |
| Light needed | Light level 8 or higher, both to stay planted and to grow. |
| Growth timing | It grows on random ticks: at random moments, on average once every 68.27 seconds per block at the default random tick speed of 3. Only the lower half of a crop that is not fully grown takes growth tries. |
| Growth chance | Each try uses the same Farmland points and chance as other crops: 1 in 3 at best, on hydrated Farmland surrounded by hydrated Farmland. |
| Room above | To reach stage 3 or 4 the block above must be air or the crop's own upper half. Directly below the build height limit the crop does not grow at all. |
| Bone Meal | Adds 1 stage when the light and room requirements are met. |
