Sapling growth conditions are incorrect

Trees seem to have some extreme growth conditions in the 1.15 snapshots. What I've found with some experimenting is this:

  • Every tree type (except for trees that grow with 2x2 saplings) needs sky access in order to grow, even a glass block at sky limit blocks it from growing. (Not sure about this being a bug, but I recall growing trees underground) In addition to this, I found a very small 'huge' spruce tree which grew after I put glass blocks at sky limit. I don't think this is intended behaviour either (See pictures)

  • Birch, jungle and oak trees need a 7x7 area of air centered around all the logs that do not have leaves. For example: If a tree wants to grow 6 blocks high, 3 of which are surrounded by leaves, it would need a 7x7x3 area centered on the sapling for it to grow. See the attached screenshot for a visual representation. This means that if there is some grass within a 7x7 area of the sapling it never grows, which is quite annoying. This also breaks most tree farms, since they have a 5x5 chamber. This doesn't apply to acacia, spruce, large oak, large spruce, large jungle and dark oak trees.

My bad, somehow I couldn't find any issues relating to this, but right after submitting of course I find hundreds of them. Sorry to waste your time with another duplicate.

No worries, perhaps someone else will thank you later when they search for existing tickets.

Feel free to add your findings to the already existing ticket: MC-163403.
