[1.12.2] Crops/saplings growth at fixed interval

[Joseph_peace]

Noob modder here,

 

I'm trying to remove the random aspect of crops/saplings growth, like they grow 1 stage every minute or something, but I can't for the life of me figure that out.

I know they depend on random ticks to grow, but I can't figure out how to change that.

There's this piece of code in the BlockCrops class:

public void updateTick(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Random rand)

which I think is involved but can't figure it out.

 

Any help is appreciated, even redirection to relevant reading material will do.

Thanks in advance.

Good fucking luck.

 

There's no way to make crops grow at regular, but slow, intervals. The best I was able to do was to intercept crop growth events, and check nearby crops, and if the neighbors were younger, give them the chance to grow instead.
