Sweet berries have 4 growth stages, but only 1 is used when generating naturally. This is inconsistent with other crops.
To reproduce, use the seed -7731129598434884049 and run the following command:
/execute in minecraft:overworld run tp @p 299 73 -119 -90 28
Can confirm in 20w51a. They always appear to be age = 3.
age = 3
Relates to MC-167686.
Can confirm in 21w03a.
Can confirm in 21w13a.
Can confirm in 1.19. This issue can now be easily reproduced by standing on top of some grass blocks, using the "/place" command, and observing how sweet berry bushes don't have random growth upon world generation.
